00:00On this week's edition of First Things First,

00:02I caught up with the winning jock, Edwin Maldonado,

00:05fresh off of Happy Jack's victory

00:08in the grade two triple bend.

00:10♪♪

00:17Talk about Happy Jack.

00:18I have a very happy Edwin Maldonado here now, Edwin.

00:22We've all watched the chosen Ron trounce his competition.

00:25This guy was second to him last time out.

00:27But with Frankie aboard,

00:28you've been on him in the morning.

00:30Were you expecting that kind of a performance?

00:32What did Doug tell you?

00:34No, Doug said, you know, when Frankie rode him,

00:36he thought he was going to be a little far back.

00:39And he jumped, he was a little closer.

00:41And Frankie loved him there.

00:43And that's what Doug said today.

00:44You know, if he breaks a little closer,

00:46you know, take what they give you.

00:49Did you have horse the whole way?

00:50Because he looked like a happy camper crossing the wire.

00:53Yes, he's been working great.

00:54I had a lot of horse.

00:56When we passed the three-eight pole,

00:57I smooshed him a little bit to see how much I had.

00:59And he kind of took off.

01:00So I was like, okay, I guess I have a ton left.

01:03And when he turned for home and I asked him,

01:05he responded very well.

01:08Congratulations, Edwin.

01:10Happy Jack, off to bigger and better things.

01:20Thanks very much to Edwin.

01:22We'll be interested to see where Happy Jack shows up next.

01:25But we do know one thing, guys.

01:27He is the fastest horse of the week,

01:30as already mentioned by our own Randolph Moss.

01:33Do want to remind you that racing does continue

01:35at Santa Anita this weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

01:39Come out on Saturday and watch the Belmont Stakes.

01:42We have Wine Place Show,

01:44something I believe our producer, Sue Finley,

01:47might be interested in.

01:49You come in, you drink wine, you watch horse racing.

01:52What is better than that?

01:53Come and join us on Saturday at Santa Anita.
