00:00Let's start with how rare a two-year-old like Brightwork really is. You know, a horse to break
00:21their maiden early as early as April and the Keeneland meet and get about six races in the
00:29year at the high quality speaks value of her ability and how rare she is. You
00:36don't see that often. It was a journey and she's a tough cookie for it, you know,
00:40we understand how special she really is. We got to Saratoga, it was all hopes and
00:45dreams at that point. We already knew we had such a really talented filly. For the
00:50spin away, watching her break and get herself a good position early on, it was
00:56just like I felt like I was holding my breath the whole race. When I see her
00:59come out of the stretch and I see her putting her fight on with ways and means
01:03and then once she took control of the race, it was just a sigh of relief. We're
01:08really blessed and thankful. Obviously, this was my first grade one and to do it
01:15with Bill Simon and Miss Tammy, with Jared Hughes, the incredible journey that she
01:21took us that I've had with all three of them in my career. To get my first win
01:26with Bright Work was an incredible moment, to say the least. Bright Work has been
01:31very special to her connections. She's a grade one winning filly, one of the first
01:35horses that the Simons raced, John Ortiz's first grade one winner. Very
01:39prestigious race, a very difficult race to win and really a tribute to, you know, her
01:45soundness and her ability. And came back and ran even, you know, better numbers as a
01:49three-year-old. So she, you know, demonstrated brilliance and also
01:53demonstrated a very high level of talent and ability as a three-year-old as well.
01:58Sharp, Bright Work wins the Prioress. You'd confuse her for Colt. She's really stout.
02:04She's got good muscle tone, very well balanced. She's a sweetheart slash diva.
02:10She knows who she's got control of and I love that demeanor about her. She's kind in
02:16the stall, but all business in the track. And I feel real proud about that. So seeing
02:20her walk away from my barn to start a new life, a new career means a lot.
02:26You know, I think the most dangerous quality that everyone wants to have in
02:31terms of a broodmare speed and precocity, if she clearly possesses us in a very high
02:37level, I think people will love her when they see her on the sales grounds.
02:40You know, she has that complete package. She was very fast. She's a beautiful look.
02:45I have great physicality, well balanced, well muscled. If she has offspring that look
02:50like her, she'll certainly be a smashing commercial success.
02:54Her dam is young. She already has two Stakes Place horses. The next dam you have, you know,
03:01Midnight Bourbon and Girvin, both millionaires. Girvin, an important young sire that's really
03:06on the rise. But the whole pedigree is filled with durable, consistent, top class runners.
03:12And it's a great opportunity for someone to acquire a filly of this type.
03:17As beautiful as she is, not only physically, but her mental beauty, I think you're going
03:24to be looking at a very successful broodmare. For whoever buys her, just know that she does
03:30love a lot of attention. And you're going to have to invest in a lot of carrots. So be prepared
03:36for that.
