00:00On this week's edition of First Things First, brought to you by Santa Anita, I checked in with the $10
00:06.5 million horse who arrived at Santa Anita Park late on Saturday evening, made his first trip to the racetrack
00:15on Monday morning.
00:21What's it like riding a $10 million horse?
00:28A lot of class, really nice. He did everything very, very nice. You can tell. It seems like he's worth
00:34the money.
00:35He looked really good, especially the second time around.
00:38Yeah, exactly. The first day, usually, they get to know around, but after he fast, you can tell he's more
00:44relaxed and more smooth.
00:46I mean, he does everything nice. Switch legs, everything really, really nice.
00:49Is this the most expensive horse you've ever ridden?
00:53Probably, yeah. Yeah.
00:55Cool dude. He needs a good nickname. Do you have one yet?
00:58$10.5 million.
01:01Do you think it's a good name?
01:04$10.5 million. All right, we'll go with that.
01:13All right, then that's it. We're going to call him $10.5 million from now on.
01:18Many thanks to Manny Avia, who's been with Bob Baffert the better part of two decades and certainly thrown a
01:24leg over many, many of his very good horses.
01:28Back to Santa Anita. Do you want to remind you that racing does continue this Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
01:34Free Fridays, as always.
01:35And do mark on your calendar, April the 30th, we will have a four-day racing weekend over the Kentucky
01:42Derby weekend.
01:42We'll have Thursday racing, April the 30th. Don't forget.
01:46We'll see you then.
