Just five short years after starting his own business, Normandy Breeding, Guillaume Vits
00:15
found himself the breeder of Unquestionable, a Breeders' Cup World Champion.
00:20
How did he go from small start-up to world champion in just five short years?
00:24
He tells us the story.
00:26
There's a quarter of a mile left to go in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, trying to
00:29
get off the inside, Unquestionable.
00:30
He's loose for the drive now as they fan across the course.
00:31
The leader is my boy Prince, Unquestionable.
00:32
Set down driving by Ryan Moore.
00:33
Down the center, here comes Mountain Bear.
00:34
The Euros closing good ground with Unquestionable in front.
00:35
16th to go, they can't get him.
00:36
Unquestionable wins by two in the end.
00:37
Unquestionable, that's another story.
00:38
We don't have no money, so I called the bank and said, can you forward me some money so
00:55
we can buy a good mare at the sale?
00:58
OK.
00:59
So with a good wallet of money, you know, because Nicolas Chamberlain told me, if you
01:03
want a good mare, if you want to make good horses, buy a good mare, you know, spend some
01:06
money.
01:07
So we got a very good mare, Cedar Star mare, pretty small, not too big.
01:11
I don't want too big mares anyway.
01:13
And so we got there, followed by, get good filly out of Knight of Thunder.
01:19
And so we wanted to go to the best.
01:21
The best in France was Witton Basset, still have no money.
01:25
I called Nicolas Chamberlain, can you do a full share with us?
01:29
So we looked at the mare and said, well, it's going to be a bit cheap, you know.
01:32
I'm not sure.
01:33
I don't think so.
01:34
So, OK, let's take this.
01:36
We buy it.
01:37
We take it.
01:38
We go anyway.
01:39
And by the time, mare full of Knight of Thunder, still no money, because we spend all the money
01:45
into the horses and stuff like this.
01:47
So we thought, I'm not a banker, you know.
01:50
And I called Nicolas, I said, Nicolas, look, I'm not going to be able to pay that Witton
01:55
Basset cover.
01:56
Come and have a look at the filly we have by Knight of Thunder and try to see your point
02:01
if we can do a full share.
02:02
So he come along and said, OK, don't deal.
02:04
Good filly.
02:05
We do a full share, no problem.
02:06
When we raced at the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère at Deauville, I went on to see Hayden O'Brien,
02:14
which is such a nice man to talk to, you know.
02:16
I said, well, sorry to disturb you, but I'm in question about this breeder.
02:21
And I just wonder, do I need to take my plane ticket to Santa Anita?
02:26
He said, yes.
02:27
I said to my wife, make sure you take some days off, because we're heading down to Santa
02:33
Anita.
02:34
You know, it's like if I was riding a horse, you know.
02:36
I was holding on to a ramp, you know.
02:38
I think I moved all the...
02:42
I don't think I...
02:43
I didn't break it, you know.
02:44
But I was crazy like...
02:45
It was amazing for us, you know.
02:47
We was very good friends of us and partners, you know.
02:50
Tanguy and Minou Amoureux, you know, Mandala Racing, they were with us all the way.
02:55
And I don't know how to describe that feeling, you know.
02:58
It's the best you can get.
03:01
Breeders' Cup, to my point of view, it's a dream when I was a kid, you know.
03:05
We used to go all the time, look at the races at Argentin or at Clairefontaine, back in
03:11
1988, 87, 89.
03:14
I remember these days like, now we have a runner, unbelievable, and a winner.
03:19
We believe that.
