"Later. On in the race he claimed victory in a photo. Finish against ron grabble. Who just won the sec. A national championship runoffs together. The mcgriff and donovan teams packed our bags and their massive one thousand nine hundred seventy s stock cars and jumped a plane to france. As soon as the two teams arrived on french soil. They were the target of local attention. The two big cars were dubbed lead to more styles. You probably guessed that means the two monsters. The cars were completely alien to the locals. These were vehicles made for racing but they were the size of farm equipment twice as loud seeing the charger and torino. Next to the tiny porsches and bmw's was like seeing a giant great dane lap. It up at supper next to little poodle. If you've ever seen like a porsche lamont lamont car. It is so small. Local swarm the cars eighties mall. Kids swarmed tiffany which is a reference that. I'm sure everyone in our audience gets neither team could get a break. The town of the mall hoisted the two cars onto flatbeds and paraded them down the main street for all to see people pressed against the cars. Look inside and we're either cheering them on or steering shame at the american excess either way. Those american boys brought the best of american yeehaw engineering with them. Griff took his son. Doug's nascar bill charger complete with an insane. Six hundred horsepower. Hemi four twenty six. The levy brought his now famous number ninety four torino which held a four hundred twenty nine cubic inch big block and also made more than six hundred horsepower. The teams had to make a few changes to get up to code for the mall which compared to the hoops. People jump through today to get their cars ready to race. Were quite minimal. I they added lights and windshield wipers for the nighttime and rain then they stuffed in a new set of radio geared keep comes online. They lowered the compression in the motor a bit so they would run a little bit smoother and that was it pretty easy is like an american tourist buying a tiny little speedo swimsuit and saying am i european now and the answer not very comfy and you look at you can cut through the water like you were born to do however at the driver's meeting before the race a handful of porsche drivers had one more change. They demanded of the american setup. Now because the porsches were so low and tiny drivers wanted the hulking american stock cars throw some side mirrors so wouldn't crush their tiny competitors during a high-speed merger flatten them like books around a corner. Can you guys just like put on some mere or something because your cost therapeutic. And they're small and we did not know that we'd be racing such big carcelle celso pig. Lucas them crush us. Maybe you'll just put on some mirrors or something. I don't know like a mirror. Yeah like a mirror so you don't want to be a hassle. Nothing about medicine idol to be a big hasselhoff. I don't want to be a hassle. I want to be a hasselhoff. Cool half means not in german so i have to be a not hassle. The americans looked around there. No problem buddy. They smack him on the back. Really really hard. The porsche drivers pretended like it didn't really hurt mcgriff. Who is sponsored by olympia beer. The longtime sponsor of evil knievel brought fifteen cases of the stuff along with them. The manifesto had the boxes markdown lubricant. Which is what he used that beer to do. Yes social lubricant. Yeah and the other drivers we get gruff about the big cars or their mannerisms he'd start handed cans of beer smooth over all the cultural differences and then they tasted it. And they're like this is garbage. Why is it not warm spicy wine. There's no real way to just compare. The two styles of cars side by side would be impairing a bull to greyhound heavily favored in nineteen seventy. Six alamo was the all new porsche. Nine thirty six was a marvel of modern automotive technology from the twenty one hundred and forty see flat six turbo-motor to the open-top spider era design. All of it was impressive for nine thousand nine hundred seventy six. I love this car. You marry because legally. I i've been tryin has been lobbying. The sing is yeah classic. It's got a big ole freakin roof. Scoop it's an open. Top reefs curry roofs skin buggy huge way on the back. They go weighing big. I'll roofs it's sixteen hundred pounds thing. Scoots skirts scoot alwine. Just said the portrait weighed in at a feathery sixteen hundred pounds and pushed five. Hundred forty horse. Power to the sticky tires was also the first car ever entered into the mall with. Its very own spinney boy. The very first turbo car at l'amour no way. Wow wow. that was the newest guy on the block. The more standard cars at the race that year like the grand touring cars mirage. M eight pushed four hundred horsepower out of its cosworth d. v. eight. We talk that motor quite a bit. Yes that's a ubiquitous motor legendary motor and way closer to a ton. The tide was turning with turbos making their move. But either way. These cars were wildly different than the whips. Mcgriff in don. The bay brought from america. Nascar wasn't really pushing the envelope with technology. They're more just taking crazy. Factory cars making them crazier. These monstrosities weighed in close to thirty five hundred pounds. Almost a full ton heavier than their european competition. The motor alone in the charger weighed almost nine hundred pounds. And that doesn't even clued the fifteen cases of olympia beer in the trump. Wow yeah they made almost six hundred horsepower but so did the porsche and weighed like half as much. The americans were going to need some of that beer to deal with the actual race. So they got drunk started thinking so they drink seventeen. Olympias anegada buzz. Nice to have a hams. Hamza's good i like hams. That's minnesota beer drinking beer from every state there's ying-ling which i you know. Whatever hugging really really groping kentucky so he probably had it More readily available. When you're you know the formative years of your drinking.

Roy i think the most interesting things or two things to mentioned about majestic glory. She's had she's four stars. This is a step up to a group three. I don't think it's exceptionally good for but you know she's she's another daughter franca whose improving racing the two. What mentioned david program having a tremendous hundredth winner the season today Nottingham class is ridden ridden centuries tries before i think But it came up through the three hundred bowling academy or even through the book When david started writing with the building the licensing And is still i mean. He's essentially free but he still writes a lot for for. Andre is going to have his best season in terms of you. Know touching wood's as as long as everything goes away. It is is gonna best season in terms of winners on prize money He's writing skin. The moments under building himself is on target champion trainer which is which is which we really considered not no and that's that's offense to to him. It's just the you john gosden. You just think oh yeah. He'll do it. Of course he's gonna. He's john gosden But no and it's fantastic. It's absolutely fantastic. He's he's a terrific trainer. He's great with the media and It'll be bring people jogging. Could cut us us. I know it's interesting. These breakthroughs wrong word because andres being in the game all his life.

While i'm getting his share you know he's he's one classic gracious He's but he's having this. He's having his best ever season this year. I mean it's just kind of crept up on me. That he is now has to be considered as one of the biggest trainers in the country. So the normally when it comes to this. You're saying that we don't really care but you you are thinking of you thinking john gosden name. That comes to mind first of all. You're obviously thinking o'brien. Because the far he sends over mark johnston because he's got a million runners each season Richard hannon has to be in the equation. And he's done it before.

She is passionate about the horse. This is what she has always wanted to do. Ever since she was a little girl and she is now living. That dream Michelle let me ask you a little bit more about carlos. You said your uncle He's had considerable success throughout his career. What are some of the things that that you learned from him. That maybe help you today. I he taught me so much on. I don't wanna knock any trainers that. I've worked for but he's one of the best horseman that i've ever been around I have yet to meet anyone do as much as he does. And i really honestly. I don't know if i know someone that was the animals much of he does because he he's he's incredible so everything that he taught me comes with me every single day because he no one has ever taught me as much as he has. I mean yeah. He started me from the ground up. You know i didn't know much about racehorses. When i started with him that he taught me everything he knows. And it i'll terrorists For the rest of my life because you know. It comes with me every single day. When i when i go over a horse i think what carlos do all the time because we have so much success together we did win auto races and and we worked so good together it was. It was a great time. It was a great learning experience. And we we a lottery says gather. It was awesome. I the word that you use to describe him when you said the word horsemen and i have always said and correct me if i'm wrong that there is a distinct difference between a horseman and a horse trainer. Is that true absolutely. There's horse trainers out there that to get a full string of horses thirty forty horses and train them all the same way and be really successful at it because they a good string of horses and you know you do have to have a little bit of luck but you know. Sometimes you get lucky that way. Sometimes you know when we're out of track like park which is a little bit lower level or and you get cheaper horses. You gotta be a horseman to get those horses to run. you know. There's a lotta horses. That are a lot of work and they have issues. And you've got to get them right and You know you can't train every single horses a way you gotta you gotta do the horse you know what makes them happy and what what keeping them healthy and found so you really gotta you know come up with a with a plan differently for each horse and and that's something that carlos does and that's something that he excelled that and everybody knows that around parks because you know you always keep a high percentage and he's had a very successful career especially in the last couple of years he had bond around embraer's cup and it was just. It was awesome to see him succeed like that because because they said he's ever one and like you know it's long overdue. He should have won racist like that years ago. So great to see you know it's still brings tears them is just thinking of it was like it was an awesome day. What do you remember about that day. Where were you watching. Actually watching from my apartment I think we were running horses that day. I was walking morally than we had a couple of horses. Run at belmont that day or an act without And i made it home. I think i made it home just in time. They were heading into the gate. And oh men are screaming my head off And my dog is going crazy. I was screaming. You know. just me and the dog but it was still just an awesome moment to see that i remember. I was recording the video of him. Afterwards in the interview and everything it was it was so exciting. Yes super tough horse to. I mean spun to run was as honest as they come in. You know no being around horses on your own and training that when when you get a horse shows up every single time you lead over that horses rare but boy it is so special it really is. Yeah it is something special like It was a silly. That dealt with. When i was with when i was with tom allama nita. She was another one. That was that was pretty special. We we want a lot. I think we won three or four in a row her And he was shoes really difficult to train on. He always had to go with the pony and she was. She had to have a certain writer on her back. There was only a few people that really got along with her But we had we had a system down for her so well that worked for her and it was something you know we just did the same thing every single day were her and it just it just work good. She had her little schedule. And and and it. You know it worked really well for her. We won One the jato in saratoga. her. I think We won few allowance races where she finished. Second in a stake at laurel. I think it was a great three actually But yeah she was she was worn. That will always stick with me to. She was a pretty special mayor. That's one of the really cool things about this sport. Michelle and as i'm listening to you. Talk and tell these stories. I'm thinking about the way that people in our game people that work on the backside each and every morning and they get up early and they worked so hard like yourself and like so many people in the sport they they tend to unless you're in the same race with somebody. You're always finding people in horses that you can cheer for right of course when you're in the same want try and beat them and you want to win but if you're not everybody's kind of always cheering for somebody else which i think is such a unique dynamic of thoroughbred racing. I always support the the hard knock and horses. You know that always show up even like the older ones Even cheaper raise of if it's the older horse and i'm not in the race or something you know i'm always on the you know. Come on get him there and a little bit. I love those kind of working. You can't beat those kind. Michelle g. julia with me here. On trainer talk presented by phasing tipton. So you mentioned working with your uncle and then going to the race track and being around horses. They're take me through the progression. Where did you. Where'd you go and other. Gna today So i stated parks for two or three years. I think and went through a couple of rough winters there. It was not easy It's a it's a tough race charge to work. At and i had visited belmont once we ran a horse up here when i'm still at carlos and i've loved it up here i was like wow i mean not so much the area you know some kind of from the country more like open land. My parents want a forty acre farm. But i absolutely love belmont itself and i was like. Wow this this place. I said to myself when i came up here i'll be here one day and I as much as i enjoyed working where i was. I knew it wasn't where i wanted to be. I felt like. I not that. I i could do more. I wanted to be on a bigger level because parts you know not not knocking parks is a good track. And it's good money and you know the racing's good but it's not belmont. You know the naira racing is a whole another level and I wanted to be involved in that. And i actually ended up getting a job with brown And that's how. I came to new york a friend of mine. New cherie deville and they were looking for a four-man slash sistance somebody to to bring up. You know somebody to train. And i ended up getting the job and.

"Didn't think he was a good writer. Well all right the big races. He won the horses. He rose says differently. And if you really research it. He won the met mile an arts and letters he and i'm just scratching the surface. Mac durmitor all these great turf wars then of course seattle slew. I mean i really. Sometimes i get frustrated with it because there's some guys i don't think are good writers but they won the right races or in the hall of fame. So what's the criteria. Your opinion of them is writer or the horses. They actually rode it. It's a it's an odd. The this conversation is you know old. The oldest can be the includes not just the riders but certain horses too. I mean the situation with kona. Gold is inexplicable for instance. I mean it. It doesn't make any sense. And you know greg jarrett. The parade had to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait Not sure he had a wait. How many years. Jeff got to a point in an eddie maples. Another guy big influence on me. You know they just his example. His approach how his demeanor how to handle things with a huge positive instrument. It took me a long time to get it but you know they call them steady eddie for a reason. It got to a point with him. He almost wish was hoping they wouldn't put them on the ballot because of the patient. And then the have. You know eminent disappointment you know. It was really like a- almost torture and then he finally you know got in but the one thing i always thought about the and kind of honor like that is that it's an opportunity for people to pay tribute to the people that help them get there because nobody gets there without help. Nobody gets to that point without people in their lives. It made a profound difference. If they wait to all like guys like john kray. The people are all gone. It's almost like what what's the point you know. That's the way i look at it. I i don't think like myself personally. I don't need anybody to tell me who i am. But you love and opportunity to pay tribute to the people that helped make you who you are. Well put i. I mean it's it's there's been recently in fact right That past and then and then gets in. I mean been waiting and waiting and waiting and it's like get the men while while while they're on the right side of the lome. I completely agree. It's a sound point though. Of course of course are i. It's you know. I think it's melts duty right now. Studi see it could have been put in at anytime and then gets in after he's dead and we're doing that. It's ridiculous now. it's so great. That's that's exactly exactly what john campos never been under consideration if you look at the number of wins john campo one in the state of new york and when we were only allowed forty horses not multiple divisions you had forty was your max and training. Five champions he trained five he wanted kentucky derby and preakness and someone said to me well. He wasn't the nicest.

"Welcome to the show. Thanks so much for being here with us. How are you. I'm great thank you. How long have you been working at yan living. I've been here almost four years. Wow that's a good long time. So you've been there back. Gary was there and there for part of the huge growth excitement. So that's great. Yeah it's been exciting time to be partying living so tell us exactly what you do for a living so my title is regional director of lower north america farms. And i guess it's really just a fancy way of saying that i'm a farmer but So my role is son. The current acting far manager at our young livy lavender farm and distillery in mony utah Aside from that one of our other corporate owned farms it which is called the sky rider wilderness ranch and tabby only utah that also falls within my stewardship. So i help out in that farm quite a bit as well. That's great so. I don't know if you know this well. I'm sure you know this already. That as a young living farmer someone that works on the forbes. You're like a superhero to all of us the products who loved the products who share the products. And i think that. That's a little atypical. When it comes to. I don't know almost any company that makes a product like i have a podcast interview. Lots of world experts about essential oils. And i never get more excited than i get to talk to the people who are actually involved with making the product. Have you noticed that sort of culture shifts joined young living for maybe where you came from in the past. I think so little bit Well first of all certainly. I appreciate that On behalf of all of our managers we. I would say that we appreciate all the members and i think that's the best part of our jobs getting to interact with people that appreciate our products and yeah. I've heard that from time to time. It always takes me by surprise. You know somebody refers to me as a superhero or something. But i think. I've just just blessed to be able to do what i love. And people enjoy our products so so let's get into some of the nitty gritty of what exactly you do. I think one thing that a lot of us are always so curious about are just what. What exactly are you guys. Doing on the farms to implement sustainable regenerative forming practices while that. There's a lot of things list all the things that we do will be pretty long list so just to mention a few first of all no matter what approach retake when it comes to agriculture. And we think of sustainability i and a long term impact that it will have on the land and on the farm and so i think the first one that comes to mind for me is probably water conservation especially here in utah because where we live in the middle of a desert the desert desert climate here and so over the last few years. We've actually worked really hard to ensure that not not a single drop of water is wasted here and so just to name a couple of things. We've completely redesigned our distillery which put saves us two hundred and seventy million gallons of water each year. Yeah some we're really proud of and an aside from that. We continue to just optimize. Our irrigation systems. So we have to irrigate every field and so it's important to have just a very good efficient sustainable water system so we know on certain fields where it makes sense to just put drip irrigation in. We've done that and so so water is a big one for us Waste management is another one that we're looking at you. Know after we distill the oil out of the planet. We have to do something with those plants with that plant material and so after distillation we compost that plant material and we also have a lot of animals on the farm. If you've ever been here you know we have something like one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty horses them. We have elk and buffalo a camel. Lots of other animals that that produce a lot waste in so we mix that together with our plant material. We call them post it and we return at right back to the far in the form of organic fertilizer. Tell me more about this camel. Obviously where's this camera. So if you come to our farm of we kinda have an area on the west side of of our park area. That's got some exotic cattle burr buffalo elkhart. Then we also have a camel and some years ago you know. i really don't know the story behind it. Gary picked up a camel. Somewhere and carseat. All right been here ever since. Yeah so it's just one of those things that you know you know when people come to the farm gary wants to have fun and nc fun things enjoy. Enjoy being here circuits. That's why it's here. So let's like agriculture. In general has always been at the heart of this company and gary's love for farming and agriculture really extended out through every fiber of young living down to the products the farmers of the users to everyone. Why is agriculture so important to young living d. Think i think. I i believe that first of all i guess started with our founder gary young he was a farmer He knew that if he wanted to grow the best possible crops for essential oil production. He had on his own farms and not only that but support other farmers us. Also gary also do it would be important for our customers are brand parker's been able to come and just see where the oils where they're made how they're made. They can even take part in the process if they want. I think he knew how impactful that would be for people and it really does sort of change the way you think about these little bottles that you're holding when you can experience where they've come from it just sort of reconnect you back to the plants and to nature in a way that you don't necessarily get when you use other things and i think it's a really beautiful experience I think one of the biggest criticisms or concerns that we might hear in the essential oil world is it takes so much plant to produce know one drop of oil or one bottle of oil and especially a company like young living where the demand just seems to keep growing more and more people want our products there so amazing so the biggest question that a lot of people have how on earth can young living maintain their super high quality standard when their demand is so high. Yeah i know that's another..

I'm so we lost the giants. I think in the in the ownership world this week reporter faisal farm died early early on sunday. After a long battle with cancer he was eighty years old. He was a pretty influential owner in the business he wants. He won four eclipse awards or five eclipse awards with three horses. Kodiak cowboy was the two thousand nine. Champion sprinter songbird. Who was champion. Two year old filly fairly at harvard. A so was two thousand eleven's older mayor and or severe grace's the one that i think. Kind of summed up reporter for me is that he was a sportsman. He wasn't afraid to run. His choices is phillies. Mayors against the boys wasn't a fate afraid to camping in his horses relatively aggressively and he was a guy who kind of built his business in the industry. The hard way you know he owned auto dealerships wasn't born rich. He wasn't from some blueblooded family. It was just a racing fan. Who happened to be successful in business in his corner of the world and turned it into a successful racing operation. And that's the dream. That's the dream for everybody who ever thinks of owning a thoroughbred racehorses. You know i'm gonna do it on my own. I'm going to be a self made man in this business. I'm gonna do it the right age and i think he did do that. And he had a lot of horses relative to the size of his stable yet. A lot of very relevant or says you also have round pond win the breeders cup distaff in two thousand six. He had he was significant. In those five sale silks. You could see them in top races around the country very often for a guy who relatively speaking was not in the business for a long time. Relatively speaking did not have a ton of numbers he just managed to be relevant. Because i guess he found the right people and found the right horses and like i said the thing i'll remember is that he wasn't afraid to run his horses in spots. That were maybe unconventional. I think there are a lot of people in this business. We're gonna learn from that and learn from wanting to do something great. That might be a little bit outside the box. I'll toss it bill. You can't say enough that things about recorder and sounds like a cliche. And i don't mean it to be. But he represented everything was good about this industry and i repeat that a thousand times. The words would do justice to what this man match and the success he had on. The racetrack was very notable because he produced all these related horses and wasn't like somebody going out and buying fifty horses a year. The yearling sales of reading forty horses. I you know he do it on. A fairly modest spent a lot of money for a horse but he would is numbers would be fairly modest and you just get cranking out good horse after after good horse but what i think he should be. Remembered or first and foremost was his animal welfare roll. Here's a guy who had nothing to do with luke louisiana racing and he started the national thorburn welfare organisation. They roll up their sleeves and they went into louisiana where apparently the slaughter problem was really really bad and he wanted to make a difference he could afford to do something he is. Voice was important. So here's a guy who walk the walk. Talk the talk. Never any even any kind of scales and we've never gonna use these quote unquote trainers. That were all suspicious on the end of the day. And you know just a class act and somebody who cares about the game cared about the wars and like you said you can't say enough good things about reporter from a personal standpoint like an echo. The sentiments i remember spending a lot of time You know with with rick at philadelphia park in the barn area Because we both raising john service at the time and rick who was super successful in his own right in his own business of of in the car industry And came into the industry not as a horseman on his horse player. Just somebody who is interested in the sport and he wasn't afraid to ask questions and wasn't afraid to to look silly sometimes by asking a question that that that maybe was commonplace and just absorbed a lot information and you guys mentioned you was very altruistic very kind had a lot of a positive influence in the industry and one of the takeaways that i had from watching rick and and his operation grow over. The years is that he wasn't afraid to buy athletes. And the first few graded stakes winner. Said he had were zenith. Who was a daughter of roy Who was the daughter of farm away and jostle who was daughter rock out now. The three phillies are commonplace. You recognize their names. But nobody's gonna confuse any of those stallions for tapping into mischief. And and you know and and uncle mo so. He wasn't afraid to buy athletes and the try things and to run phillies against the boys when he thought that they could compete there. And so you know to to go out of the the normalcy of of commonplace knowledge and and try different things because he was on entrepreneurial. And if there's something else that i would like the punctuate to your collective kind words about rate is that. He was an entrepreneur. He was willing to take chances in an industry that usually excuse that kind of Thinking and i'm gonna miss. You know having his influence in the industry because he was a really good guy and a really good owner and always tried to do the right things and industry that that's kind of faltering right now. We need more people like that. And i think that that'll be his legacy to the had fun with the game but also took seriously the games issues and just kind of like a very well. Rounded schwartzman is. How i would i would describe order. Made a big impact in a relatively short amount of time in the business and because of that it'll be remembered forever. He's his his horses and his influence. The industry will go down in history now. Wanted to just Consultant condolences to report his family. Anyway at foxtel. Farm larry jones anybody who had a connection with reporter in the industry all these years. Just our condolences to him. He was a giant for short. All right. so that's going to do it for this week's edition of the tv writer's room presented by keeneland only the world's yearling sale make plans to attend the keeneland.

"A trainer partying like it's nineteen ninety one eight bolt she's got a two and a half lake lead dawn the destroyer next toward the inside what over with Mark Holiday from blue devils been a client of mine for years and we just try to make a game plan where we figured we'd cut it back and trying to make her a champion in the sprint division just seemed like chasing midnight these you might be a tough ordeal for her we had always Kinda were skeptical about how far she wanted to go even though she had won the Royal Delta ongoing amount sixteenth earl the year before last when she was second in the gopher one going mile just seemed like a good plan to just regroup she got a little light after the midnight race to wait for the Ballerina and try to win that game one which turned out great and then it's actually not ten weeks I was wrestling with that but I decided to go ahead and run the gallant bloom on September twenty second I got the I put she also won so now I got the two races back since the Phipps and I'm sitting ready to go five and a half weeks into the British top actually speaking of midnight zoo you know we mentioned in our open that your family has a history of running a really good horse against a potential legend for speaking about your grandfather Pancho Martin who had oh really good three year old named Sham back nineteen seventy-three but that was not the right year to have a really good three-year-old how much did that enter your mind when you decided to shorten up come down instead of knocking heads with midnight bees again I never really think about things in the past I mean I know my grandfather was a great trainer and that was a great horse and he ran against probably one of the greatest sources that ever lived but I just kind of try to do my own thing just worry about my horse and we're just trying to make the best game plan to give her a chance of success and to win a grade one and we just thought that Mitt I tease you and a late and some of the older fillies like a really strong division not that the sprint division having to run against co Pepsi the test and some other great vilis it's not it's not going to be easy but we just all got together and we just talked about cutting her back you know she had been brilliant in the distaff going seventy eight just started give us a chance to make regret one winter which has been always the goal 'cause we always believed in our hearts that she had that kind of brilliant ability in that kind of talent and they just that's just the way just turned out for us the time you know we were we were always debating you know what her best distances and this race was great and up to a mile it seemed like up to a one turn would be her game really oh by the way your grandfather portrayed as something of a foolish villain in the movie secretariat with Diane Lane and John Malkovich I know 'cause I was there for some of the filming of the scenes it didn't mention in the movie that he led the trainer standings in New York for ten straight years and entered the hall of fame in Nineteen eighty-one what did you think of his portrayal by Nestor Serrano I thought it was an interesting movie to say the least I brought him to see it and obviously he wasn't too pleased wasn't an accurate portrayal anybody that knows my grandfather knows that he was a gentleman and a lot of those things never happened with him screaming anybody I think he said he met Mrs Tweedy used to call her by her maiden name the day of the Derby she said hi Mr Martin can I say hi to sham and wish you luck inch and he took her over to t- his horse and exchange pleasantries and they wished each other luck and that was about the extent of his interaction with petty Chinnery so he thought it was quite amusing but like I explained to him it's Disney and somebody has to be the villain and they chose you and he said to me you know he was about eighty six years old and he said is there anything I can do I said well if you still have about twenty unless you could sue Disney but other than that just sit back and enjoy the movie so I don't think he really enjoyed the movie too much but it is what it is he had a great horse and if it wasn't for secretary how people theorize you know he broke the record in defeat and the Derby and preakness and maybe could be the triple crown winner he got hurt chasing him in the Belmont and then he still was syndicated for two and a half million in dollars which wasn't too shabby back in nineteen seventy three was a great horse in a great story and you know it's like having you know going up against Michael Jordan and a championship game and scoring eighty and Jordan's going one hundred and just coming up a little short trainer Carlos Martin joining us here on in the gate will send out come dancing in the Breeders Cup Filly Mayor Sprint you obviously come from a family of six zestful trainers including your Dad Jose who trained groovy I mean this is a business built on pedigrees so because of that I would think clients would have come flocking so you what made it takes so long for you to get back to this top level of competition I'm not sure I think we had a little rough patch with Mr Laser was my main client and backwards my dad got sick in two thousand six I had the the cancer Starting two thousand and two and then I unfortunately lost him in two thousand six we always had a close working relationship with Mr Lewis on and I kinda got comfortable in the state of being kind of a private trainer for him until he passed away about eight years ago and you know people sometimes they see you with one outfit and you know there was a lot if I think maybe just thought that was just him and me I was beholden to him and a lot of ways you know he was like a mentor to me with my father my grandfather of course and I think that kind of turns people off you know I had kind of a private job with him until he passed in two thousand eleven pretty much you know so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it I know when when he passed away it was quite an awakening to be a public trainer again and start almost from scratch about seven years ago and I'm so grateful that Mark Blue Devil and a couple of other clients like Matt Scherer on Mr and Mrs Collins a really good team now some really great people that have passion for the sport and really take the Horse I they're kind of the owners I have now say a little bit of a throwback because they really art patient with me as far as they want the best for the horse and I know there's a lot of pressure to do things right now especially when you spend a lot of money for but I'm very fortunate and blessed able to get back on our feet we went down from forty horses when Mr Lizard passed away in two thousand eleven to probably about five horses so we've called our way back and you know about the opportunity to win it Breeders Cup would be really really sensational way to finish the year and oblique grew almost to two million earnings for this year with a relatively small stable of twenty five sources I think he's a good accomplishment so I'm happy where I'm

Those were the opening lines of the legendary nineteen seventies TV show. Welcome back kotter where the main character played by Gabe Kaplan returns to his New York City high school to become a teacher. Our next guest has done the reverse Kelley rube. We grew up loving horses and upstate New York grew up to become a middle school science teacher and then left. That stable career to return to the stables on TV, Mr. Qatar dealt with a group of teenage guys who seemed comically incapable of maturing into adults Kelly rudely now a thoroughbred trainer has an equine version of a teenager as three year olds in the spring, basically are, but this guy has done some growing up in the last few months, always mining. We'll have to make a three wide bid and he's willing to do. It always finding up to try for gold as Zinni off the scene now in position less than three alongs to go and always mining now in front from try for goal turning for home in Federica Teissier sakes, all ways mining set down and opens up a four length lead on try for goal always mining with a six now a seven Lang lead always mining robbing home past the Laura line and headed to the Preakness always mining comes into the Preakness on a six race winning streak albeit in races. Quite as rigorous as those on the Kentucky, Derby trail, none the less. The three year old gelding is answered the rhetorical question about dreams that you hear on welcome back kotter who'd have thought they lead you back here where we need you and buy back here. We mean to Maryland where Kelly ruble is based at fair hill with a chance to claim one of the American spring classics, and we welcome trainer Kelly ruby here too in the gate. This horse has made twelve starts already maximum security. Maybe you've heard of him has made five including that whole Kentucky Derby thing. The last nine of always mining starts have come in laurel in the last six of those have been wins, all enlisted or overnight stakes. What's been your philosophy on how to bring them along? He he was purchased by my current owners after his maiden win. So he's only been with me since he ran on the grass in Maryland last summer. So, you know, we've kind of just strategically followed the past the Maryland route tickets where we're at today. What mood the light bulb turn on forum last October when this winning streak started? I wish I could answer that. He's always been a very nice horse. I mean anyone is made nicely. I think the goal was always to stretch out. And they were very limited races for two year olds when we ran them on the grass. So after that we also have to just sit tight and wait till they had a route race for us. And obviously he relished the mile you grew up in central New York, which is not exactly horse country. I know I went to Syracuse. What made you even want to get involved with horses up in that perpetual league gray bleak part of the world. I don't know. I guess it was ever since I could walk or talk I'll ever wanted to do with the around horses. So it was just naturally in me. But yes, it was a little limited. I started writing at a quarter horse barn actually started competing on the quarter horse survey doing jumpers and hunters and from there, but an event horse and started shipping down to the Maryland, Pennsylvania area. And that's kind of how I ended up in the air. Area fair hill. But listen to your parents, you earn two master's degrees. Two masters degrees. It became a middle school science teacher. Now, first of all, they're possibly be a more draining job in the world. And being a middle school teacher. I actually really enjoyed that age the students are you know, there's just starting to develop themselves much like a young horse. So I thought they were a lot of fun. But yes, it's exhausting, and it wasn't necessarily something. I could see myself doing in the future. Which is why I went back and got my second masters for administration inside that for three years. And then decided you know, what horses are meant to be. We what happens you were wearing a suit as an administrator and everything and did you just have an piffle. Or was it a gradual thing it was gradual? You know, even when I was teaching. I went into the administration because the fact that I'd already voted so much of my time, and my education towards the education were also what could I do move up the ladder in that respect? So I tried the administrative row and decided that it was just for me it allowed more flexible hours than my current job. But it just wasn't something. I had a passion for jelly rudely. Rainer of Preakness contender always mining. Joining us here on the gate now before you get to fair hill, which you mentioned you leave teaching school for FOX hunting in Pennsylvania. Is that a thing that was just a job to kind of regroup and see what I was going to do with my life. But yes, I was managing harm, and we accented I we didn't really have an opportunity in where I grew up. I never FOX hunted in my life. So it was a unique experience in something that I greatly enjoy. But it also got me my start with Barclay tag here at their hill. How I started galloping for him here. He had a string at fair hill and my gal for him and then eventually moved up to become his assistant. How do you go from FOX hunting and Pennsylvania to fair hill and being an exercise rider? Well, I mean that job was just pretty much to move me to this area to figure out what I was going to do. And that's. When I met Parkway and became an exercise rider for them with the goal that I would eventually become an assistant and kind of learn the horse racing world from the ground up. What did your parents say about what you chosen to do? With those two masters degrees. They were not thrilled. They still think I'm a little nuts. And the fact that you know, I work seven days a week. And I haven't had a day off and many years, but we've had a little bit of success. They're starting to kind of be what my my goal was a long, and they're you know, they're coming around. But still it wasn't ideal in there is at the time. Well in light of that. How nervous will you when you finally decided to go out on your own? I wouldn't say I was nervous. You know? It was a goal, and I like I'm somewhat of a driven person. And so I had a goal. And I knew when I became an assistant as the idea was to learn as much as I could to have an eventual string of my own, and you know, it came around gradually and worked I way into it. And so it was just a natural flow. Really? I'm guessing you're hoping that the success of always mining will lead to more business how big a stable do you have? And how big would you like it to be? I have about forty horses in training right now. We've had more in the past. I'm a very hands on person. I checked every horse's legs every morning. So I don't know how we'd like to go. We'd like to continue to improve the stable and have a nice allowance level stable. So you know, it just depends on I don't know that there's a magic number to stop at. It's just when I feel like I can't stand up everything that I'm going to have to take a minute and relook at it. It is always morning still in control leads almost two legs. From is six furlongs twelve three sixty s lift to go with like the distances. No problem at all. For always finding always minding kept attest opening up a half dozen on Joey his second and tai-bo third. Always mining wants to run all day, always minding to win it by six or so we've talked on this show recently about the stickiness of the future of the Preakness. But considering that always mining. Is one six in a row with loyal race course and made nine of his twelve career starts there. I'm guessing you personally wouldn't be too opposed to running the Preakness there this year. This year. That'd be perfect. That's going to happen. I mean, how concerned are you that he can bring his race track with him? Even though it's still in the state of Maryland. Actually, I think the Tenneco course going to set him up nicely. It's got a nice long stretch. And he just has a very large scale thing stride. So I I I don't see this the track change to be a problem. We're going to have to do it. Eventually, then I'm guessing you don't mind seeing that just about all of the top derby contenders are going elsewhere now that plays well for us, absolutely more. We certainly wish you the best of luck here. Kelly ruby. Thank you so much for sharing a few minutes with us. Thank you. Thank you haven't. We're going to take our first break here on in agape when we come back. It's time to revisit that whole d Q rule and how it's interpreted on guessing, you know, why we need a refresher. So go
