00:00Good night to all of us special, to all of us at Fasig-Tipton.

00:20It's always a thrill when you see a yearling sales graduate like her go on to perform the

00:25way that she's performed at the highest levels.

00:28I think that she kind of epitomizes everything you're looking for in a racehorse.

00:32She's got brilliance, she's got pedigree, she's got confirmation, she's the complete package.

00:39So Fasig-October has been a really good sale to our team.

00:43We found a lot of really nice horses there, but this filly's pedigree really stood out.

00:48And when I saw her, she was just very athletic, bred by Stone Street, one of the best breeders

00:53in the country.

00:54With Good Night Olive, right away when I saw her and she came into the barn, she reminded

00:58me a lot of Ghost Zapper.

00:59I was lucky enough to be around that horse quite a bit when I worked for Bobby Frankel.

01:01And every race she came out of, she kept getting better, stronger, faster.

01:07You could see in her works.

01:08It gave me a lot of confidence to keep raising the bar of what I'm asking her to do.

01:12She was injured a couple times and came back from it, has a ton of heart like her father.

01:17She was brilliantly fast from when she was two till she's five, and she's really never

01:22let us down.

01:24Obviously, her Breeders' Cup is a memory that we'll always have.

01:29I think that was just such a loaded field, including Echo Zulu, who ran second that year.

01:35For her to do it so easily, and Irad to just sort of gear her down at the end was so much

01:39fun to watch and enjoy that moment.

01:42Good Night Olive, six in a row, and a Breeders' Cup champion!

01:47Good Night Olive is very similarly made to her sire, Ghost Zapper.

01:51She's very deep through her middle.

01:53She's a very well-made horse, fast, a beautiful hip and head on her, and internally she's

01:57just built with a huge heart.

01:59She's taken every track with her, wherever I train her or race her, and she's really

02:04one of the best dirt fillies I've trained.

02:06I think what made her a great racehorse is definitely her demeanor.

02:09She's very calm, won't turn a hair in the paddock, all business, until she's not.

02:17She knows exactly where the wire is and what her job is.

02:20She's owned and raced by friends of ours, Jay Hanley, Team Hanley, and Steve Lehman

02:25and the First Row Partners.

02:27So it's been really enjoyable to watch the connections and to kind of share the success

02:31with them.

02:32The ownership group has thoroughly enjoyed the ride that she's taken us on.

02:38They really realize how special she is.

02:40They're enjoying it, they're soaking up the moment.

02:42I think getting to watch her go through one final race, the Breeders' Cup, and knowing

02:46that she's going to sell at Night of the Stars afterwards.

02:50Just enjoy the weekend and try to take it all in one last time.

02:55She's in full work, but a nice spacing into the Breeders' Cup, and just hoping she goes

03:00out a winner.

03:01Whoever buys a good night olive really has an amazing opportunity with her in terms of

03:05her breeding prospects.

03:07She could produce a sprint champion, she could produce a classic winner.

03:11The sky's the limit, and the opportunities are endless in terms of who you can breed

03:15her to and what you might be able to produce.

03:18Good night olive is everything you're looking for in a dirt broodmare.

03:23I just couldn't imagine there being a better profile.

03:26Go Sapper is becoming such a prolific broodmare sire.

03:29He's the broodmare sire of Justify and 35 other stakes winners already.

03:34And it's a great page.

03:36She was bred by Stone Street.

03:38I think she's really a collector's item.
