00:00Anyways, we're going back to back in time to race number five.

00:06The breeders Cup Turp Sprint.

00:08This is one of the most fun races every year because they're flying early on.

00:13And what I what I've noticed to Roberto, you were over at Kentucky Downs.

00:17Every turf course doesn't play the same.

00:19The six furlongs are six and a half at Kentucky Downs.

00:22That's way different than the five furlongs here.

00:25That's way different than the six and a half down the hill at Santa Anita.

00:27They're all really unique.

00:29That's why I think that Cadbury has more advantage than everybody else.

00:34Because of what he just did at Kentucky Downs.

00:37And the way how he finished.

00:39However, let's start with the number one.

00:41Believing, and she's been facing Big Eve and Bratzel on three of her last four starts.

00:49Ryan Morrow blinkers on.

00:52You know, it's kind of difficult post position because you have to show either a lot of speed.

00:57Or grab the hold, right?

00:58Exactly.

00:59And you have to wait until the end and come in, you know, flying.

01:02More tourists.

01:03This is a whole different ballgame.

01:05Because I think it's 3-4-3 at Del Mar.

01:08We know he loves the track and he will come flying.

01:12And I think he's gonna get enough pace, you know, to show that late kick.

01:17And our Zach is a good horse.

01:20Remember that he won the Wolf War.

01:21He finished second behind Cotburn, but the last two days that I have been watching him

01:27in the morning, he's too washy.

01:29I mean, he's not looking as good as he used to do, you know, prior to all the breed races.

01:35So we'll see what happens.

01:36When you face the toughest horses, you want to be feeling really good when you're coming

01:39into the race, too.

01:41The number four, Starlust, was third in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.

01:45Had legitimate trouble.

01:46It's just badly hampered and collided with the rail.

01:48The horse was moving up the inside, wasn't going to win or anything, and did actually

01:52bank off the rail.

01:54AG Bullet is in really nice form.

01:57Tried grade one company last time out, going a little too far.

02:00She's three for three sprinting, but those sprints are the longer sprints, going a little

02:04longer.

02:05So while I think she'll be forward in here, I'm not quite sure at the five for a long

02:08distance.

02:09Star of Mystery is a horse who comes absolutely flying late.

02:13So if they go quick early on, she's one of the horses who will come motoring down and

02:17who will pick them all up.

02:18Alexa, I'm going to hand the baton off to you.

02:21Talk about seven through nine.

02:22Yeah, seven is Howard Wolowitz, which isn't that a big bang?

02:26OK, that's a character.

02:29But you know, this horse is a long shot.

02:31Thirty to one morning line, has some early speed and has been improving since switching

02:35to synthetic and turf.

02:36I think it needs to continue to improve to be a real factor here.

02:40He's not going to get the position that he wants early, I don't think.

02:44Number eight, big invasion with Frankie Dettori aboard.

02:47Also a long shot with twenty to one morning line odds.

02:50You know, he got second in this race last year by a neck to no balls.

02:55That was his lifetime best speed figure.

02:57He's come from off the pace, which can be a tougher ask in these really short sprints.

03:03He was following the same pattern as he did last year leading up to this race.

03:07And then he disappointed last out in the D with a pretty slow figure.

03:11So I guess it depends how much you think that's thrown him off, what the reason was for that.

03:17And then number nine, Cogburn with Steven Asmussen and Ira Ortiz, our seven to five

03:22morning line favorite, was on the path to the Breeders' Cup last year and just kind

03:27of threw a clunker in the grade two turf sprint at Kentucky Downs.

03:30This year he had redemption.

03:32He won that race like Roberto was talking about.

03:35Setting records.

03:36Setting records.

03:37Just an incredible performance.

03:39And then, you know, he took that eight month break after the loss at Kentucky Downs the

03:43last time and just came back to be such a monster.

03:47And, you know, they brought him back in the grade two and he won the Jaipur as well.

03:51He's won wiring the field in his last two starts.

03:55So he's a machine and the one to beat.

03:57I think one of those names that everybody's sort of looking at, like, how do you say that?

04:01Issy Bunga Bunga?

04:02I think is that is that one, Berto?

04:04I believe, right?

04:05Issy Bunga Bunga.

04:06Something like that.

04:07There we go.

04:08We'll get there.

04:09We'll get there.

04:10Before Saturday, we'll get there.

04:11The 10 and the 11.

04:12We're still going live out here.

04:13We're hearing an alarm.

04:14You see us all run and we got to go for a fire drill.

04:17That's what's going to happen if the seats are left.

04:18But we're going to keep rolling through this right now.

04:20Berto with the number 11, Big Evs, 10 or 11 or either of those horses on your radar.

04:25Yeah.

04:26Nine, 10.

04:27I mean, I would say nine is the horse to be 12 to, you know, seven probably, you know,

04:31you have to include it if you don't want a single cover.

04:34And Bradsell to the outside, we didn't get a chance to talk a whole lot about this is

04:38a multiple group one winner.

04:40This is a legitimate, legitimate, classy individual.

04:44But the outside draw, that can be really concerning.

04:47Going in post 12, going a short sprint like this.

04:50If he does not come out of the gate flying and absolutely get some position, he could

04:55be hooked really, really wide.

04:56It's the numbers.

04:57She sure won the last race.

04:59Yeah.
