00:00All right, well, you know, I'm all in Ocala right now.

00:04So this week's edition of First Things First,

00:06our own Michelle Yu caught up with owner breeder,

00:09Pam Zeebath, to talk about,

00:12we already mentioned her, that brilliant gray filly

00:14who beat your favorite five-year-old,

00:17Mayor Andy, in a dare manner.

00:18We're gonna listen to how she thinks sweet Azteca rap.

00:28Well, if there's a way to make a grade one

00:29any sweeter, it's to have a homebred grade one winner.

00:32I'm joined by Pam Zeebath, the owner and breeder.

00:35Can you describe your emotions right now?

00:38I was telling them in the paddock

00:40that the best fisher we have is a Flavian

00:43on her mom down at Delmar.

00:46So I was like, let's do this again.

00:49Now we have four siblings right now

00:52and she's carrying another sharp Azteca.

00:55Oh, so nice to have a full, right?

00:56So you're excited here.

00:57What were your thoughts coming down the lane?

00:59Because she was in front, seemed to be pretty comfortable,

01:01but here comes the favorite breathing down her neck.

01:03Well, I'm like, okay, let's kick in the 12 links.

01:09Did Michael say after that last race

01:11that she come back with some confidence?

01:13Oh yeah, yeah, loads of confidence.

01:15The whole team had more confidence that this is really it.

01:18I mean, I think the grade three was a fluke, you know,

01:22just new place, new noises, yeah.

01:26Looking back at her pedigree,

01:28I would say I wasn't sure about the two turns,

01:30especially how quick she was.

01:32Were you confident that two turns

01:33was going to be up her alley?

01:35I felt she could do it, yeah.

01:36Especially after talking to Michael,

01:38he goes, she has so much left after her work.

01:40You know, it's just like, it's in there.

01:42So yeah, we're really pleased.

01:43Congratulations.

01:45A very nice homebred victory

01:46for Sweet Azteca as a grade one winner.

01:53Thanks, Michelle.

01:54Catching up with Pam Zeebad.

02:03due to the time change.

02:04We do have some good stakes coming this weekend.
