00:00You know, Gamine is the type of horse that when you see her for the very first time,

00:20you knew she was special, and she knew she was special.

00:26After Stride, everything that she did, it was so easy, in the interview, you felt like,

00:31okay, I'm the best horse ever, you know, so she gave you everything she can.

00:36She was different than that kind of horse.

00:38I remember going to the Timonium sale, the Fasig-Tipton, right after the Preaknesses

00:42run, and walking in there, and my bloodstock agent, Donato Lanny, says, I want you to come

00:49look at this filly.

00:50It's very rare that I have horses just, that I look at them, and I just see something magic

00:56in them, and Gamine had me at Hello, so we need to call Michael Lund, and he needs to

01:03buy this filly.

01:04This is the perfect filly for him.

01:05I said, we found a filly for you, you know, he wants to play at the top level, and he

01:09asked me, well, Bob, how far should I go?

01:13I says, these fillies are hard to find.

01:16I said, you stop when you own her.

01:20You know, Gamine's always been special to us at Fasig-Tipton since her breeze at the

01:25Timonium two-year-old and training sale.

01:27You know, I think we all knew that she was poised to do something special in the sales

01:32ring, and she certainly exceeded those expectations when she topped the sale.

01:37You know, I think history will reflect the fact that Gamine's 2020 racing campaign was

01:43one for the ages.

01:44She wins the Acorn by 18 lengths.

01:4618 lengths, grade one in New York.

01:49Eight lengths, and then it's Pleasant Orb moving into second, followed by Waterwhite

01:54and Lucrezia.

01:56This is a tremendous performance by this three-year-old filly.

02:00Gamine, won by the length of the stretch.

02:03And at that point, I didn't know very much of her, you know, so the way she won, I got

02:08back and I said to my agent, I only can say, wow, I was like, that was incredible.

02:14And her stride was, that's what got her to what she was, and racing, her stride was incredible.

02:20Very fast and very powerful.

02:21They don't come that often, horses like her, they're special.

02:25She won five grade one races.

02:28And against the top competition, she took on all comers.

02:31Not only did she win, but the dominant, the brilliant way in which she won, I mean, she

02:36was a horse that when you watched her on a racetrack, she gave you goosebumps.

02:40For a horse as fast as she was, she was really kind, you know.

02:43She was in the post parade.

02:46She was never, you know, like on the muscle or anything like that.

02:49She had a big heart, you know, she'll give you everything she could at any time.

02:55That's what made her, Gamine.

02:57She's a filly that I've always looked forward to watching her run because I knew she was

03:03going to wow us.

03:04She's the whole package.

03:08And she's a generational talent.

03:12And that's what you need in this business.

03:14She's always exceeded expectations.

03:16And as those expectations, the bar was always set very, very, very high to begin with.

03:20And I think she'll likely do that as a broodmare as well.
