00:00Well, Intrepido stamped his tickets at the Breeders' Cup Juvenile with a win in Saturday's
00:04Grade 1 American Faro Stakes at Santa Anita.
00:07Zoe Cabman, who's on assignment for us right now at Ocala, talked to his owners, Ruben
00:12Islas and Michelle Arthur, after the race.
00:20Ownership group of Intrepido.
00:22Now, he had a different name when you guys bought him.
00:25How did we come up with this name?
00:26I came up with the name because I wanted the name Intrepid.
00:30And I don't know if you ever heard from your Spanish teacher that Ropa don't mean rope and
00:33Sopa don't mean soap.
00:35Well, apparently, if you put an O on Intrepid, it becomes Intrepido.
00:40Intrepido.
00:40Intrepid was taken.
00:42So I was like, I want this horse is Intrepid.
00:45And so I became Intrepido.
00:46You guys have had such success.
00:48I know you credited Mike Pender.
00:50How does he find these horses?
00:51He's talented.
00:52He's a genius.
00:53I am a tiger.
00:54That's Mike.
00:55All right.
00:55So how excited are you?
00:57Like, you are up against three baffets.
00:59You win the race.
00:59We're watching the race right here.
01:01I mean, what were your thoughts when you saw him coming down the lane?
01:04I knew that he could do that.
01:08I really did.
01:09I was just incredibly nervous looking at the odds on the board.
01:13But he did it.
01:14And when he finished, he looked like he had more to go.
01:17More to go.
01:18I told Mike before the race, I said, here's what's going to happen.
01:22He's going to break, right?
01:23He's going to be doing really well.
01:24He's going to come out.
01:25He's going to be second.
01:25And he's going to get jammed up a little bit.
01:27He's going to hold back.
01:29But he's going to finish strong at the end.
01:30That's exactly what happened.
01:31You guys excited to go to Brita's Cup?
01:33Yes.
01:34It's 20 minutes from our house.
01:35So it's perfect.
01:36Fabulous.
01:37You might get a plus one there, too.
01:38I'm coming.
01:40All right.
01:41There's room at the end.
01:42I'll be there.
01:43Enjoy your champagne.
01:45Thank you so much.
01:45Cheers.
01:46All done.
01:46Cheers.
01:47Intrepido.
01:54From Saturday, October 11th through Sunday, the 19th, come out and celebrate Oktoberfest
01:59at Santa Anita.
02:01Two weekends packed to the brim with Bavarian food, live music and entertainment, including
02:05cornhole, keg rolling, and stein-holding competition.
02:09I'm not sure what that is, stein-holding competition, but it sounds like fun and a costume contest.
02:14Sounds like fun indeed.
02:16Come on out to Santa Anita.
