00:00Where does the name Gold Rush Weekend come from?

00:15With California being famous for the Gold Rush back in the days, it's a very historical

00:21state as much as anything else.

00:22And we wanted to try and celebrate that as well by teaming it as such.

00:27Prince Abu Dhabi takes down the California Derby, guys, and you have to be feeling on

00:41cloud nine.

00:42Let's start with you, Steve.

00:43This is awesome.

00:44Best feeling I've ever had.

00:46You know, everything was going super expensive out there, and we just picked him.

00:49We saw that we liked him.

00:50Luckily, he's in our price range, and then we didn't know what we had on our hands until

00:55now, I guess.

00:56I mean, he just keeps improving every time.

00:58He gets better and better.

00:59Yesterday's renewal was as good as we've had, which went to Little Red Feather.

01:05And down south, we made a valiant attempt to keep it here with Sam Calvario.

01:08It was a hell of a finish, and it was a hell of a race.

01:11The turf track is in fantastic condition.

01:15The jocks all enjoyed it, and we were delighted with the whole day.
