Let's get into it here. 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: Eight horses, of course, some that participated in Preakness, others 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: that did not. 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: First time were seeing some of these horses since the Kentucky. 45 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: Derby Jeremy Pond, what is the general approach. When you 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: look at history, weather, the field itself. How are you 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: assessing the field here? Are getting yourself set for Belmont? 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 4: I think first and foremost we really have to look 49 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: at track conditions. I know they're supposed to calling for 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 4: some potential rain. Will the track come up muddy sloppy? 51 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: They do a pretty good job with the NIRA tracks 52 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 4: to seal these tracks, which is when they really tighten 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: them up. The Peter Pan Who's a perfect example. It 54 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: was a stakes race that was run on May fourteenth, 55 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 4: which we the people actually won. It was a muddy 56 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: track that they sealed it, so it played kind of 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 4: fast for lack of better description, And I want to 58 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 4: see that race day. You're gonna be able to watch 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: all these races, they're all live on sports to c NBC, NBC. 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: I want to see what's being favored. 61 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: There is speed favoring, is front running, speed carrying in 62 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 4: these races, whether it's six furlong, seven furlong as a 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: mile and an eight mile and sixteenth or is the 64 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: speed it's not a speed favoring track Horses coming from, 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 4: you know, stocking positions, deep closers, horses coming from off 66 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 4: the pace, basically, are they the ones getting the better trips? 67 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: You know, those are the two key factors for me. 68 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 4: And you know, and this is an eight horse field. 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 4: Everyone's going to get where they want to get most likely. 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: I think the only horse that could potentially be compromised 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 4: is the horse on the rail. It was the favorite 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: because he's got seven others to his right. It doesn't 73 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 4: matter if there's four horses in their field or there's twenty. 74 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: That horse on the rail and in the second post 75 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: position with Skippy longstocking, they're going to have to make 76 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: some decisions. But I don't think anyone's going to run 77 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: into any real major trouble. So you just got to 78 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: really take in the factor what your horse is, where 79 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: he's positioned in the race coming out of the gate, 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: look at the track conditions and see how they're what's 81 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: being favored that day. A lot will be dictated where 82 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: I placed on my bets, A lot of the exactly 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 4: especially you know, throughout the throughout the day with a 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: long r you know, picked floors, picked fives, those type 85 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: of places to see what's going on with that stuff. 86 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: So, okay, good points. 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll have some some crossover and some repetition 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: on those thoughts, but monique for you specifically, when you 89 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: talk about approach and you take a look, what's one 90 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: of the first things you're doing in terms of trying 91 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: to handicap the Belmont Stakes. 92 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 5: I think the first thing to do when I handicap 93 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 5: any race in general is try to figure out that 94 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 5: pace scenario, who's going to be on the lead, where 95 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 5: all the other horses are going to be positioned, and 96 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 5: try to envision the way the race is going to 97 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 5: play out. And I think that's the best thing you 98 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 5: can possibly do. And a lot of the times, if 99 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 5: you do have the race scenario mapped out perfectly in 100 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 5: your head and you're able to kind of calculate that 101 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 5: and put that into fruition, I find that you usually 102 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 5: end up coming through with your wagers and you usually 103 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 5: have a better read on the race as a whole. 104 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: For a race like the Belmont, we have a lot 105 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 5: of new faces, we have some familiar faces. We have 106 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 5: some horses and obviously skipped out on some of the 107 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 5: legs of the Triple Crown and also with three year olds. 108 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 5: One other thing too, is especially we notice it a 109 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 5: lot in the Triple Crown trail. In general, you have 110 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 5: horses that are getting so much better from start to start. 111 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 5: There's a noticeable difference that you can see and maybe 112 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 5: something you gleamed from the race prior. So I think 113 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 5: with these horses it's difficult enough to predict in and 114 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 5: of itself any factor instead of the new faces factor 115 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 5: in the pay scenario, and then the smaller field too, 116 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 5: So a bunch of question marks in here. I know 117 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 5: Jeremy and I we were talking earlier, don't have the 118 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,119 Speaker 5: strongest of breaths in terms of this race as a whole. 119 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 5: There's still lots of time to change and lots of 120 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 5: time to see how the tracks playing out and see 121 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 5: how the odds are. 122 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: Mike, we're really excited to have you joining us for 123 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: the first time here for the Triple Crown. What's your 124 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: read here? Please feel free to reference how you may 125 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: be approached the Derby and then Preakness. Just how do 126 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: you compartmentalize a bunch of factors here when you handicap 127 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: a race like the Belmont Stakes. 128 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me excited to be here. I 129 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: think what Monica said is is key in terms of 130 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: figuring out the pay scenario, especially in a mile and 131 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: a half race for three year olds that have never 132 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: gone this far before, and most of them, if not 133 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: all of them, will never go this far again. So 134 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: I do think that pedigree is something in this race 135 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: that comes into play that we really have to take 136 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 2: into account of who's bread to get the distance. Jared's 137 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: point around whether is another big piece, And there's a 138 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: reason that Belmont is nicknamed the Big Sandy. So I 139 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: always am looking for horses that have at least run 140 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: over the track and who have potentially ran well over 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: this track. And half of this field has a start 142 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: over the track. Three of the eight have a win 143 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: over the track, So all things to consider when you 144 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 2: take into account a mile and a half race, big 145 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: sweeping turns, and the stretch run that is always entertaining. 146 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: We look at the odds. 147 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: We the people is the favorite coming in at two 148 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: to one, Skippy Longstocking twenty to one, Nest eight to one, 149 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: moving right along Rich Strike who took holl the Derbys 150 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: seven to two, Jermy who can realistically. 151 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Win this thing? 152 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: Who can realistically take it home? You look at odds 153 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: and all factors. 154 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: I'm tossing two horses right out of the gate. I'm 155 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: tossing Skippy Longstocking in Golden Glider. I don't like Skippy 156 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: Longstocking in this race in general, and Golden Glider finished. 157 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: I believe ten links behind with the people in the 158 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 4: Peter Pan, which was for me, was a glorified allowance race. 159 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: There was nothing in that. I mean, let's be honest, 160 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: there's no stars. 161 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: In that race. 162 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: If we the people get to the front, obviously he's 163 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 4: a player because he's a long speed in the race. 164 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: If nobody can test him in the first quarter, he 165 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: gets alone, starts loping along, goes twenty four in the 166 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: first quarter forty eight and changed in the second, he 167 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: could run away with it. I see that scenario as 168 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: the only scenario he wins, to be honest, because I 169 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: don't think this horse likes to get dirt kicked in 170 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: his face. You go back to the Arkansas Derby from 171 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: the nine posts, and nobody does outside. There's only nine 172 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: horses in the race. Nobody was right, could not get clear. 173 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 4: Pratt couldn't get him clear of the three horses to 174 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: his left dropped him back in behind him. And that 175 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 4: horse did nothing in the Arkansas Derby. He did not fire. 176 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: I believe he finished seven. Wasn't even in contention the 177 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: entire race. That horse has to get to the lead. 178 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: He has two ross. I don't believe he wins the race. 179 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: Modoneagall is the horse for me right now. I hope 180 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: his odds drift. I believe he's five to two right now. 181 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 4: I love to see him go up at three to one. 182 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: I kind of believe he will either be the favorite 183 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: or co favorite with we the people I think they're better, 184 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: is going to focus on him. Rich Strike will come 185 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: in probably in that third slot. He's seven to two 186 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: morning line. I think he'll probably go off maybe around there. 187 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: And then you've got Creative Minister, who I think is 188 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: six to one, who I think will actually drift a 189 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: little down to maybe seven or eight. He's gonna give 190 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: you more value there because someone else on this call 191 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 4: I know loves Creative Minister and he's lightly raced. A 192 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: lot of these horses have had gone seven, eight, nine 193 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: times in their careers. It's a lot for a three 194 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 4: year old. This is a different era where you know 195 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: big time horses who were winning these major triple crowns, 196 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 4: they only ran three, four or five times and then retire. 197 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: Some of the horses have run nine times eight times. 198 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: I think it really comes down to the horses that 199 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 4: should win and could win this race. We the People, 200 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: Mo Donegal, obviously, Rich Strike and then my long shot 201 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: in this race. And you know one's going to talk 202 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: me off of is Barbara Road. He's a good friend 203 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: of the Action Network. I think we should sponsor this 204 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: horse's some capacity because he's made us a lot of money. 205 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: Right finishing inside top tens and top threes and through 206 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 4: the Derby trail. I think an ideal trip for him. 207 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 4: He could things could fall apart up top and he 208 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: could be there at the end. He's a hard working horse. 209 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: He's been in the money seven of nine times so 210 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 4: far in his career. This is a very tough race 211 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: to handicap. Of the eight, I think six could realistically 212 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: win this race. And let's hope we catch your price, right, 213 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: Let's hope the favorite doesn't. Let's hope that We the 214 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: People doesn't win and we can get something going with 215 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: the exotics here. 216 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: Let's not bury the lead. 217 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: Also, Monique Creative Minister, Jeremy hand did it you you're on, 218 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: Creative Minister, Please tell us why there is a case 219 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: for Creative Minister to win the Belmont Stakes. 220 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 5: So Jeremy, I don't love the horse, so I just 221 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 5: had to settle on the horse in here. I think 222 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 5: he's going to offer some value. I think he has 223 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 5: a good shot, and just earlier too. Just having these 224 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 5: lightly race horses I think really come in handy. I 225 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 5: had no issues for him being able to handle the distance. 226 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 5: That's one thing that we usually talked about for the 227 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 5: Belmont as a whole. But then we have a horse 228 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 5: in the front end. We the people who you know, 229 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 5: you kind of look at the race and I think 230 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 5: most of these horses are going to be able to 231 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 5: handle the distance a matter of that. They excel going 232 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: a little bit longer. But with the likes of Creative Minister, 233 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be in a great spot. 234 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be right behind that early speed. 235 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 5: I think it's going to set up well for him. 236 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 5: He's lightly raced, he tried the grade at stakes ranks 237 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 5: once in the Preakness. Wasn't the most ideal of trips. 238 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any way who was going to 239 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 5: beat early voting than at the center with that troubled trip. 240 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 5: I mean, what is there really to be set out 241 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 5: of there, but it was simply third best on that outing. 242 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: I think he's getting better. I think he's an intriguing option. 243 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 5: Kenny McPeek has had a lot of success in the 244 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 5: Great at Stakes ranks and winning the Preakness. I think 245 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 5: is one of those sneaky plays in here, outside of 246 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 5: the logical ones, those being the Rich Strikes and of 247 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 5: course the Modoneagall, who again, I think it's just going 248 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 5: to probably end up setting up pretty well for Modoneagall, 249 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 5: and if he's on his game, wouldn't be surprised to 250 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: see a dominant effort from him in there. So a 251 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: bunch of different opinions at least in terms of who 252 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 5: do you use on top, but have to settle on 253 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 5: the value play and Creative Minister for. 254 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: Now, Mike, it is just a field debate. But who 255 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: can realistically. 256 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: Win this thing? 257 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: There's one horse that we haven't really discussed yet, and 258 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: it's the filly in the bunch. It's Nest now, listen. 259 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: Is she my top choice? Absolutely not? But do I 260 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: think that her running style, and similar to what Monique 261 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: just mentioned about Creative Minister, that her running style comes 262 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: into play and could really benefit her in here. She's 263 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: one that's going to you know, be just off stalking. 264 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: The pace should only be a couple of lengths behind 265 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: for the first two calls, for the first quarter, in 266 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: the first half. And if we the people, you know, 267 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: if somebody else creative minister and Nest, if they're able 268 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: to push we the people a little bit, Nest, creative minister, 269 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: they're gonna get the first jump on the deep closers, 270 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: the rich strikes, the barber roads, the modonagles of the race, 271 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: and so I, you know, you can't discredit her. There's 272 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: also something to be said in horse racing whenever a 273 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: Philly is running against the boys and she takes the 274 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: lead for whatever reason, whether there's actual truth or it's 275 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: just myth, the boys always seem to have trouble going 276 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: by a Philly once she takes the lead. We saw 277 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: it in the Preakness a few years ago. And so 278 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: I just think that this is a spot. And if 279 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: you're looking for value, she's a horse who and she's 280 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: shown that she can handle a wet, fast track, which 281 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: as Jeremy mentioned, we might get here. She shouldn't have 282 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: a problem getting the distance. Being out of Curlin by 283 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: an ap Indie Mayor, So you know, I think that 284 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: she stands a real chance. I do like the people 285 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: a lot, though. You know, he could, as Jeremy mentioned, 286 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: get the loan lead if he mopes along early and 287 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: no one presses him, even at a short price. Sometimes 288 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: you just got to take what the value is that 289 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: we're being given, and then I would round out the 290 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 2: trifecta with Modonagall. He's paired up his last two buyers 291 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: at ninety six, which means one of two things. Right, 292 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: he's either gonna pop and we're gonna see that buyer 293 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: jump up into the triple digits, or we could possibly 294 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 2: see a regression. I just don't see a regression coming 295 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 2: from him. Pletcher always has his horses ready. He's one 296 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: of the horses that's won over this track. I will 297 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: tell you that in my exotic wagers, I am tossing 298 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: rich strike. I get he ran an amazing race in 299 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: the Derby, and I don't discredit the horse at all. 300 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 2: He got more than an ideal pace to run into. 301 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: Granted he navigated more traffic than I've ever seen in 302 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: a derby. That's I just at seven to two, there's 303 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: no value and I'm not convinced that he can recreate 304 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: the magic in the Derby. 305 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: Let me just piggyback on one thing that Mike just said, 306 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: very sure about Nests. Curlin lost to Rags to Riches 307 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: in the two thousand and seven Belmont Stakes. Rags to 308 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 4: Riches is a Philly Rags to Riches kept curling at 309 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: Bay down the Laney. Go back and watch that race 310 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: on YouTube. That is a that is a throwdown for 311 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: the final two to three furlongs. And as Mike alluded to, Curlin, 312 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: who was arguably one of the greatest horses in the 313 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 4: last what thirty years, could not get past Rags and 314 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: Riches could not get past her, and she won the race. 315 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 4: And I think Mike was alluding to Swiss Skydiver back 316 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty when Swiss Kaidever won the Briakness. He 317 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: makes a great point. I just want to just support 318 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: that the males can't get by the females when they 319 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 4: get in that situation. 320 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: So great point by Mike. 321 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: And now on to Sleeper. 322 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: Sleeper is the fastest growing fantasy platform today with millions 323 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: of players.

Okay, 349 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: so you've all kind of hinted at what your card 350 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: might look like. But let's put some stuff on record, 351 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 3: shall we. Jeremy will start with you. We'll work our 352 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: way around the horn. 353 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: Here. What's your card looking like for the Belmont Stakes? 354 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: Jeremy pund I. 355 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: Think there's a scenario, only one scenario where we the 356 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: people wins. He has to get the lead. I do 357 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: not see him coming from off the pace stalking. I 358 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 4: go back to that Arkansas Derby again, finish seven, and 359 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 4: he finished well behind everybody else. He was never in contention, 360 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 4: wasn't in play. If he doesn't get the lead, then 361 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: I think we've got five six other horses that can 362 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 4: win the race. Because I don't think he's gonna come 363 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 4: from behind and win the race. Skippy Longstocking is gonna 364 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 4: have a say right out of the gate. He's breaking 365 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 4: right next to you in the two posts. What does 366 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: Skippy Longstocking do? Does he stay there or does trainer 367 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 4: Safi Joseph Junior say Okay, you need to go, or 368 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 4: you need to check him a little bit into the rail. 369 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 4: Skippy Longstocking wrecked Epicenter's Freakness race. If you watch the gate, 370 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 4: he crushed him right out of the first two three 371 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: hundred yards, which sent Epicenter back along, sent him down 372 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 4: to the rail. He's now second to last. Epicenter still 373 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 4: came back and was probably the best horse that day. 374 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 4: Epicenter is probably the best horse that day and in 375 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 4: the derby that's gonna be one of the hard block 376 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 4: losers of Triple Crown racing in the last twenty years. 377 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 4: That horse is the best best of year old in America. 378 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: But he still had trouble because he ran into problems 379 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 4: coming out of the gate. I think there's a scenario 380 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 4: where we the people doesn't get that early lead and 381 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 4: then it opens up for situation where you get these stalkers. 382 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 4: I don't think somebody from Deeping the Clouds is gonna 383 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: come win this race. I also don't think rich Strike 384 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 4: and the Barber Rhodes are going to be twenty lengths 385 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: behind everybody either. I think everybody's gonna stay pretty compact. 386 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's gonna fall way off the off 387 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 4: the wayside in this race, because it's too small of 388 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 4: the field, right and when you've got loan speed, you've 389 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 4: got to stay closer to the speed just for the 390 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 4: fact that you don't want him to go away. So 391 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 4: I'm going to play the scenario in my mind right 392 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 4: now that we the people will not get the trip 393 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 4: you once and I'm gonna go with Modnaga at this point. 394 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: I just think that the combination of pletcher An I 395 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 4: red Ortiz on that track, they were second best in 396 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 4: the in the Wood. I'm sorry they were. They won 397 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 4: the Wood Memorial beat early voting. Who came back and 398 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 4: won the Preakness bypassed the Derby because they wanted Chad 399 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 4: Brown wanted the Breakness. Smart move this time they skip 400 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 4: the Preakness with Modonagall and go to the longer distance 401 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: in in the Belmont. So I think this sets up 402 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: for him if you're looking for a long shot. I 403 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 4: love Barbara Road. He's seven of nine in the money. 404 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: You've got to use him in your exotics. He's always there. 405 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 4: He's that horse that does not like to win. I 406 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 4: kind of I alluded to him before in an earlier 407 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: conversation in fact Monique and I were talking, He's like 408 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 4: Midnight Bourbon. You know that that that's a trying horse. 409 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: It just didn't win a lot of races. He finished 410 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: second third, made millions of dollars, right, but just didn't 411 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 4: get that could not get that big win per se. 412 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 4: So I think from a value perspective between we the 413 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 4: people in Barbara Road, do I want two to one 414 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: on we the people? Or do I want ten to 415 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 4: one or more on Barbara Road? When Barbara Road finished 416 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 4: thirteen lengths better than we the people did in the 417 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 4: Arkansas Derby against the better field than what people saw 418 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 4: in the Pewter pan. So Moldonaga on top right now, 419 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 4: just right now on this day, going to the race, 420 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: and then Barbara Road is my live long shot underneath. 421 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: Very good Barbara Road. 422 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 3: Having a little rest as well, not part of taking 423 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 3: in Preakness, but did so was. 424 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: Right there at the end in the derby. 425 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 3: Monique, what's the car looking like for you? 426 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: You're outright winner exotics? What do you have for us? 427 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? 428 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 5: So' going to change our mind quite a few times, 429 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: I'm sure, heading up to now until post time, of course, 430 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 5: still lots of time and have the luxury of seeing 431 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 5: those horses that take that support versus don't and then 432 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 5: try to find the one offering value. I guess for me. 433 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 5: I know earlier we were talking about the smaller fields 434 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 5: just in general for the undercard as a whole, and 435 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 5: I mean that's unfortunate from that perspective because I always 436 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 5: love those multi legs. I know Race nine is one 437 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 5: the Metropolitan Handicap everyone's looking forward to that. I think 438 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 5: flight Line is an absolute freak. He's as fast and 439 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 5: as good as it gets, no concerns for the distance. 440 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 5: So he'll be a single for me for those multi legs, 441 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 5: and I'm sure he'll be a single for many. So 442 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 5: doing that allows you to luxure going a little bit 443 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 5: deeper in the Belmont in and of itself, and you 444 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 5: have to respect Rich Strike, Creative, Minister, mo'donegal. Those would 445 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 5: be the three kind of standouts for me in terms 446 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 5: of who to use, and then maybe even toss in 447 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 5: more of those and then hope for a price along 448 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 5: the way for those multi legs. But yeah, really looking 449 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 5: forward to some of the races on the undercard and 450 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 5: if you can find a single in some of those 451 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 5: multi legs, you know, the more the merrier allows you 452 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 5: the luxure of going deeper. So those are the kind 453 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 5: of races that I'm kind of targeting at least early on. 454 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: And then got to sprinkle a little bit on Creative Minister, 455 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 5: probably a win place wager there. 456 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: Very nice. 457 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: All right, Mike, you kind of hinted at what you're 458 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: you might be eyeing, and your your last comment about 459 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: about who can realistically win this thing, so lay it 460 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: out for us. 461 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I agree with a lot of what 462 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: Jeremy said, and I'll go back to an earlier comment. 463 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: I love horses that have won over this track before, 464 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: and frankly from an ownership group perspective, I think it's 465 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: one of the Ripoli horses winning this race, which is 466 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: either nest or Modonagall. Both have won over this track before, 467 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: both have multiple races over this track, both with a 468 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 2: first and a third from two starts over this track. 469 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: I do think Madonagall. Jeremy alluded to, he's going to 470 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 2: be closer. No one's going to be fifteen sixteen eighteen 471 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 2: lengths off, so he will be closer. And again I 472 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: mentioned before pairing up buyers, I love seeing that a 473 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: lot of times that will mean somebody moves fuar word. 474 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: Also the fact that early voting came back to win 475 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: the Preakness after running second, a really good second to 476 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: Modoneagall in the Wood Memorial. I think speaks volumes to 477 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: Modonegall in this spot, and I mentioned Nest earlier. I 478 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: really do like her in here. So for me, the 479 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 2: play would be, you know, an exact with Modoneagal with Nest, 480 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: and then if need be using we the people, but 481 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: probably just using we the people in the second position 482 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: rather than boxing the three of them, to try to 483 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 2: create a little bit more value for yourself. From a 484 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: multi race wager standpoint, I'm going against Monik's single actually 485 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: in the multi race wagers, and I'm going just to 486 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: flight Lines outside to Speaker's corner. I think Speaker's corner 487 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 2: has done more, has proven himself time and time again. 488 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: Flight Line, it's the first time he will be facing 489 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: older horses, so I'll actually be singling Speakers Corner in 490 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: that spot, and then even earlier in race seven, which 491 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: is the start of the all Grade one Pick five, 492 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 2: I'll be singling La Truska, hoping to find some value 493 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: in the two turf races in between. 494 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: Okay, great stuff. 495 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: I really appreciate all you guys stopping by throughout this 496 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 3: Triple Crown, and again you can find all the hard 497 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: work from Jeremy Pond Action Network, also Mike Conti, he's 498 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 3: a contributor to Action Network, and of course Moni Vegue, 499 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 3: America's best racing handicapper known. 500 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: As the Parley Queen over on social.
