00:00Welcome now to Gainesway Guest of the Week. It's known as Damon Thayer. He's the Thoroughbred Racing Initiative Senior Advisor.

00:07If we hadn't abandoned together and formed our coalition and fought the decoupling bill, it probably would have passed.

00:14But we got in there and scrapped and fought and clawed and testified in front of multiple legislative committees

00:50sold in-fold to Muth for $525,000.

00:55And Muth also had an in-fold mare, Precious Dixie, who sold for $450,000 in Book 1.

01:03Just like his sire, Muth won Grade 1 stakes at both 2 and 3.

01:07In fact, he's the only son of good magic to do that.

01:10The Grade 1s were the American Pharaoh and the Arkansas Derby.

01:13Muth was a $2 million sales topper at OBS.

01:16He made $1.5 million on the track, and now Muth stands for a fee of $30,000
