00:00And while we're talking about the Kentucky Derby weekend, the undercard on Friday and

00:06Saturday is spectacular.

00:09And it also has a Pennsylvania angle, right?

00:11The TDA drivers are brought to you by the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Associations because

00:15Pennsylvania will be represented very admirably in the $1 million Old Forester Bourbon Turf

00:21Classic, the race before the Kentucky Derby, with the Chad Brown-trained I'm Very Busy,

00:27who looks sensational winning the Mervyn Bunis in his last start at the fairgrounds.

00:32He'll be vying for favoritism with the Charlie Appleby-trained Naval Power, with integration.

00:38But the Old Forester should be a fantastic race, and I'm Very Busy should be right in

00:43the middle of it.

00:44Meanwhile, this is 2024, so congratulations to Smarty Jones.

00:50It's the 20th anniversary this year of Smarty Jones's wins in the Kentucky Derby, and this

00:55is in a near triple-crown sweep.

00:58As smart as Smarty Jones is, I don't think he's really aware of this momentous anniversary,

01:03but I know everyone associated with him is, and his fans are, so congratulations to all

01:09of you.

01:10And he's still around if you want to breed to him.

01:11If you want to breed to Smarty or any other PA Bred stallion, you can go to pabred.com,

01:16you can go to the 2024 Stallion Directory, and you can become part of the fun, and you

01:21can share in the Smarty Party 2024.

01:24For more information, again, www.pabred.com.

01:31The state of Pennsylvania has the best breeders program in the entire United States.

01:37When you buy a yearling, it's a little bit like buying a lottery ticket, and we are trying

01:40to provide the lottery ticket that the likelihood is to hit the jackpot.

01:44Angel of Empire wins the Arkansas Derby and wins it clear.

01:48I'm Very Busy raced away to win the Muniz Memorial Classic.

01:52We paid incentives of over $30 million last year to 376 different breeders.
