00:00Golden Tornado is much the best. Fired a big shot and scores by three lengths.
00:12We really like Golden Tornado. He's a really beautiful horse. You know, I spent a lot of time
00:20in Ocala watching him, you know, get ready. He's a horse that we were excited about, you know,
00:25pretty much all winter. When you get him in here, you don't really know who's going to be the first
00:28one to get there. You know, we're pretty pleased that he got, you know, to be able to run here at
00:32Saratoga and run as well as he did. We were expecting him to run a big race, but we're not
00:36really a win first time out operation. But turn for home, you could see him, it looked like he was
00:40going to go by at any time and it was pretty exciting. He did it pretty easy. So, you know,
00:44I think we've got a lot to look forward to. I told Dean probably about five weeks before the run,
00:50I said, this could be our champagne horse and, you know, we're going to stay on course. So,
00:53you know, keep him here, shoot for the champagne and hopefully everything works out well.
00:58Well, I'm a big fan of McKenzie. Golden Tornado's a phenomenal athlete. I mean,
01:03his physical, his shoulder and his hip. I mean, he's probably one of the best looking horses in
01:07the barn. He looks a lot like McKenzie. You know, McKenzie, if he's standing, he's a beautiful horse.
01:13Big Dom on the outside or Dr. Kapoor putting on a show at the spa. Big Dom just in front and Big Dom prevails.
01:21Big Dom was visually impressive right off the bat when I spotted him at Keeneland. So,
01:28immediately I was intrigued by him. He had a good physical presence, well-made, athletic,
01:34and had great confirmation. I had a horse earlier in the meet named It's Our Time that won and won
01:40quite easily and they were work partners. And so, I knew the talent was there. Going into the race,
01:47my biggest concern was what kind of speed Big Dom would be able to show out of the gate because he
01:52is truly, everything he's shown me to this point is that he wants to go longer. Talent? Absolutely.
01:58But out the gate and showing us ability to sprint, I wasn't so sure about that. But he left the gate
02:04well. Turning for home, I was very excited about him. He was positioned well. Looked like Jose was
02:10getting ready to make a move with him. I didn't count on the other McKenzie in the race having the kind
02:15of strength down the lane that he also had. So, it was a real battle. And Big Dom separated from the
02:21other horse, maybe in the last 50 yards. Again, I think showing more distance is going to be better
02:26for him. I think ideally we would like to look at the Keeneland Futurity in the first weekend of October.
02:35The thing about McKenzie is he throws a very athletic looking horse. They don't necessarily have the
02:40traditional look of a strong two-year-old colt like Big Dom, but they're always well put together and
02:46they always have a beautiful walk. I've had some good ones. You know, Quick Kick. She's, you know,
02:52multiple graded stakes placed in a stakes winner. So, they're always going to get my attention at the
02:58sales. And I guess that's why I've, you know, kind of gravitated to them.
03:10That's why I felt a good moment of a brook. So, you know what it's the same one said?
03:14Part here. So, I think that if I can tell you, it's actually a tough one.
03:18Finally, our little girl was talking about who would risk some change.
03:22Well, to keep constant, I think we are going to be thinking, do you think wrong,
03:27we can't tell each other maybe.
03:31Yeah, I'm still going to die.
