"Last year, he had his biggest crop of falls ever at a 137. So in the next few years, going to be really exciting to see what he does. And glenview stored, so that's the same under the Roth Barry arm. Like scirocco and Charlotte are bored excel. Audiences are well known once they get hold of them. They support them well themselves. Well, I do think blue Brazil, everybody is going to want a piece of them. Well, there's a bit of national hunt stuff for you that you weren't expecting as yeats is about to be crowned champions are. Is that right? Yeah, and he was, he was people might have considered him a bit disappointing initially. Yeah. But like here, national hunt of all things going to take a bit of time for horses to excel. Not only do the horses take time, but if they get injured or there's so much more look involved and time. And to be fair, it's cool more. They did try them. Actually, a further first of all, they did decide, let's go to feathers and see if we can actually make something of them there. It didn't work, but at least they gave it a go. I quite admire that because they could very easily just go on national and stuff. Like I was told, the first time you load in the gate for a saint ledger or for the gold cup at ascot, forget about it. That's it. You're a national home stallion. And they genuinely gave him an opportunity to be a flat stallion. People just weren't interested, which is a bit depressing really. We're going to have to hold Australian coach well, he had a kind of a breakout year this year is diamond boy, so he's the long press a yes. But he moved to Ireland. There are a few years ago to cono key Colbert in waterford. Carnot keeps the legend. Yeah, he's great. Real gentleman. And he has his biggest crop of three year olds this year, so they'll be at the store sales. So I'd say next year in those four year old maidens, the point to points he could make his mark. Okay. Talks for literally beating the door down going, where the hell is this guy? So that's me Don. We're going to have to have you back on. Hopefully we'll get you on with. Somebody else and we can have a bit of a debate about the future of stallions in the UK and Ireland and breeding and where the direction is going in. Speed versus stamina and all that. But I've thoroughly enjoyed the conversation in me and thank you so so much for giving me your time. And if you're willing to come back on and do another Sarah lanham impression, then we're more I honestly thought it was Sarah, would you pick up the phone first? I was like, Sarah? What the hell is going on? But then once you start talking for about ten seconds, you're like, oh, no, wait, that's Amy. Amy, where can we get access to and what can we book you for photography gigs? And if you want to really get your name out there with your stallion, where can Amy Lion be contacted? Amy Lionel dot IE. Find everything there. Fantastic. It's by the way. But of course you already knew that because the name.

"So no, she was an ale bar as well. So it's nice to have another good one for Christie. Absolutely. But particularly that you were so heavily involved. So 25 K and then sold for 55,000. You doubled your money so nicely. Nicely done, Amy alone. Well, you know, there's cost involved together. There's not quite a lot. You came out on top, came out on top. I did. If you just go for your cost, that's the way and at this stage, I know that's a win. When you start talking about the veterinary costs and all of the other costs, it just actually blows your mind. The point was actually made to me by Darren. And he wasn't by any means having a goal he was just saying, I was like, you know, we're lucky we still have scarlet witch and he said, yeah, no, we really are, and I said, jeez, like 8 weeks. It's going to be next season. He goes, yeah. Well, that's one of the good things for you, Kennedy. It's not going to cost you his end. Just syndicate us to absorb all the costs. We just get to sit back and let her come back. And we will have our day. We shall have our day in the sun. So final question for you, because I really good to get on talk sport. Is first seasons are just a stallion in general. That you would advise listeners to follow. The progeny of this season. For example, I'd say I would love it if pride of Dubai heads back to Ireland. I wouldn't be surprised if it does. It's currently in Australia. Ulysses is over some a big fan of because I think this video is going to run a massive race in the Derby even though Luxembourg's doors them all over, but investments will have to be made further in this video. But I'm very intrigued in Ulysses. I like both of those. It's hard to narrow it down to one I mentioned a couple like know they never in Bangalore in the jungle that are going to have their best spread. Crops. Because just because I think is underrated it doesn't mean he's going to have the ammunition this year. Maybe I'll mix it up. Maybe I'll give you a national home tours. Oh, let's go. Let's go. He's not really under the radar because he has constitutional Brazil. Is from blue Brazil's first cross since. Moving to England. And then he has since moved to Ireland, but so constitution hill there are 5 roles, there's still plenty more Tacoma to that craft even. On the four year old crop is pretty big as well. So the blue Brazil is a very good look and what they're quite big. So be no surprise if a few more superstars came out of constitution hills here. And then.

"Decision. Whether or not they keep that horse. And they obviously decided that we're keeping him. And I just wonder if they're just going to keep all of them. If they're just going to go, every Galileo that comes out, every Galileo that comes onto the market, we're keeping. And I did ask, even before when he was still around, they'd want to keep or buy out the ones that they liked. Yeah. Sure life is not how they ended up with Galileo himself. They owned him with the joy family. Yeah. That's a good point. There was a private bid between colored Abdullah and the lads and you had to write down a number on a piece of paper. But I suppose they're probably more focused on finding the finding the heir to the throne or finding out which sort of bloodlines work well with your Galileo Mars because they'll have plenty of good gallaudet or breed from. Yeah, there's so many out crosses. They obviously got wooden masks last year. Yeah. He's really working through the ranks like the amount of top class horses he's gotten from when he started a low fee. It's just unreal, really. Dubai? Yeah. David decided, you know, now that there's peace in our time that because I was asking about the Dubai and how he's training them. And obviously from the late great to bundle in stallion, roster, but he was saying he's loving them. And it's intriguing because obviously he's 20 now. It's 250 grand, by the way, if you want to power, we invest, Amy, the two of us. I'd rather buy a few surprises. All right, shake Muhammad. Can we do a deal? Even though even though they're using older stylings and, well, other Australian farms and they're buying the progeny of other stallions, you know, like saint mark's basilica spice uni. I still think they're going to they're going to really want an air at their base. Back to maths and what he has done just looking like almonds or champion three year old. He came from a crop of just 23 folds. Like, and then he is current 5 year old crop. Produced 12 stakes winners, and that's bred off a fee of 6 grand. You know, so what he's going to do when he gets the better mayors. It's going to be really exciting. Very and they haven't though. A blow to France, but an absolute boost to cool more. So two final questions for you. What do you look for in a stallion? I'd rather have proven stallion anyway. Are you looking for power? Are you looking for strength? Is there some physical characteristic that you're looking out for? Well, I suppose what they have doesn't always follow up in their progeny. So remember we're looking at their stock, but yeah, and I hear we all want a nice look and correct for us as a good walk. It's the same if you're looking at Australian or looking at to buy you one of the sales. Being by a nice stallion himself is always good, a nice pedigree. There's all these things, but like with the, I know we're focusing on first season and I love watching them with interest, but they tend to be quite expensive at the sales. So everybody like everybody wants a pinhole cool and everyone's everybody wants to read on, you know, there's more hype about those they have all the advertising behind them as well as sales. So they don't usually come up with my price range. I'd usually prefer to go for approval and stallion that isn't at the top of everybody else's list. Like the first one I bought at Sofia, she was boy colachi and at the time people thought he didn't get a good Philly. Did you buy Sophia? Yeah. Nice. So that's how I could afford her. The second horse reminded proposal by Raven's pass, not many people wanted to even pass. Why was that? Why was Raven's pass so cold? He's always had small numbers. So he's never really had a huge number to represent him. But he was a very good start. What do you guys have a lot of highly rated horses? Took them a while to get his first group one winner bought. He doesn't have that many horses. The other thing is it's also about the page, like romantic proposal was out of a half to toil some who owned the fare. It's not just about that. She's come back with a bang. By the way, how was she three to one? I don't know. I really wonder about, well, not just tipsters, but the, if anybody's reading the racing post comments, whoever wrote them wrote that she basically won a group one, but then disappointed next time out. It was on a bog in France. She still won a group one. And then it said, could be vulnerable. What if he said, could we vulnerable first run of the season? But it made it seem like she wanted a group one but she didn't. I thought she was the best horse in the race. And yeah, maybe race fitness would be, you know, the issue, you know, dad doesn't go on them for the first day. It's a long season. And also she's older, you know, the older horses, they tend to need to run more going back. Yeah. Well, I didn't understand why she was that price. Can I just point out, by the way, the glass slippers that breeders cup sprint turf winner or at least at the time reigning sprinter wonder swissa, winter power who some people were going wild about were all beaten in that race as well. And I think if they were to be making their comeback, I don't think there'd be too much about beating in France last time. I don't know. It seemed like people thought it was a bit of a fluke that she won the group one, but I think you can, I know, Monday was a listed, but I think you can see the way she did it. There was no fluke about it. I remember talking to Sarah. But here, when soul power won the non twerk at a 121 people thought it was fluke. I'm not really sure you can win the non torp like that at any price and it'd be a fluke. Yeah. You are bringing me back bad memories now. I'd rather be not be the underdog anyway, low expectations and blow them away, the rather than the other way around. They did that. So what is the plan with romantic proposal? Because it must be a really exciting time for you that the horse is doing so well for not just for yourself but for your family. Oh yeah, it's very exciting, but as for what happens next I just I'll go along for the ride. I suppose it's came out of the race well anyway, but the ultimate aim, I suppose this is royal ascot, what race she goes for there? Still up the air, whether it's 5 or 6, and if she takes in a race before then, which race it is, is also up in the air. I'll leave it, leave it in fast eddies capable hands. King stand. Go for the king's stand. By the way, Amy both are worse for 25,000. The horses one three. I re sold it, you know? I'm very lucky that Joe foley bought it and decided that him and Steve Park and decided it would go to dad. Daddy had to go to Philly for them before. Agnes Stewart, I think she was well, maybe even she was a bargain anyway. I learned from a good choir of bargains. She was bought by dad for 23,000 as a yearly. Jeez. And she won the May hill stakes group two at doncaster as a two year old was then beaten just half length while together forever in the fed's mile..

"Will have his best cross, so let me think. His best bread crop of yearlings this year that we're two year olds next year is probably beta breath. He went to a career high after he had 6 stakes winners in 2019, including Capri logistics group two winter space traveler. He also had the Albany and group two and her dad here. So he'll have gotten better mayors off that. Wounds with their best friend, two roles this year. You keep an eye out for bundling the jungle, he had his most expensive crop of 12 grand off the back of rumble in the jungle who won the Malcolm. The next year he had living in the past, won the low. So he'll have then his best year length will be this year or a good quality bunch year lengths will be this year as well. Do you think aesop's fables that one there on Monday? Low code and she is from no they never is first two year olds spread off a hundred grand. So that's when he made such a great starter stored then like these stallions always take a bit of a depth because, you know, there may have been well supported in their first year than they become a bit risky for a couple of years, you know, in case they flock breeders might not want to send the mayors. They want to see how they do. On the track. So no one I never in 2018, he had 50% winners to runners. So like aesop's table is out of actress. So now he has those top class mayors. Meditate was northern one she was impressive first time out of the car. So it'll be exciting to see how it's always exciting to see how they deal with the better mayors. Do they keep upgrading them or is it just kind of the same thing? And they hear it's not all about Italian, you know, it's a lot to do with the mayor. Tim mayors don't really get enough credit. I love my new looking at a catalog page and you see some mayor who keeps producing winners by most people would not consider very good science, you know? You're always looking for a page like that because no matter what it's buy, it'll be decent. Yeah. You are right there. We do get very obsessed with the stallions and this is about first season stars. It's the most extent, but you're a 100% right. There are plenty of mayors who are more than capable of upgrading Italian. Yeah. And just speaking of the reverse of that, that was one of the things that I loved about Dane hill dancer. I don't know if you ever met him. I'd come more stood. So I didn't know. He needed 5 handlers. And he had to be housed away from every other stallion. Because he was a bastard. I can say that. They would never, but he was a proper naughty boy. And I think he started. His progeny are very honest, so. Oh yeah, that was the thing, is that I went over to touch him and they went down to don't do that. Do not do that. He's being prepped to be shuttled to Australia, and even though we're prepping him to shut the office, obviously a horse would be being eased down, even though we're doing that, don't. You don't want to do that song. But yeah, he was being housed away from everything else. And he started off really is a kind of we'll try him for four grand. I think it was punched back in those days. And he got to arrange in 2010 where he was private. The last actual public fee was a 115,000. But we'll say for Euro sake in 2003, it was 30 grand. And he upgraded at his mayor so much that then they started giving him the good mares, which obviously resulted in even more quality than the private fee was slapped on. The Galileo type fee. So he was, he was a huge player. And it's going to be interesting to see where cool more find their next superstar. It may very well be. Saint mark's basilica, they have the facilities, and they have the ability to be able to go and breed to him. It could be Caravaggio. It remains to be seen. But actually, one very good example of growing in favor is actually in the national home. So you remember some of the boy. Yes. Years ago, one, two grade ones and the same year, block off one of grade one, and they're both by a statin called San mason. Who covered over 200 mayors off the back of that. In 2018, the previous year he covered warn mayor. What? On the year before that zero. Oh no, all those ads you take it out of the racing post and no one comes. Oh dear. That's tough. So that's. Probably the biggest rise in numbers ever. It has to be pardoned upon as well. From Amy. In 2020, if you mentioned rise and stallions, well then what do you think is going to happen? So you want the hard work is from the family slip anchor. Jew would have thought he would be in some bit of demand. His last listed fee was private. I think he might be retired now. He is old and off he's washed. 25? Yeah, he was born in 97. So yeah, he'd be right. But he's producing the goods. But the crop of from over 200 mayors. There are three roles now. So they'll be at the store sales this year. She'll be interesting to see what they go on and do. What's going to happen with the Galileo's? Because it's not like they've disappeared. So obviously we've lost him, which is terrible. But there are Galileo's who will be does the full share situation. So do cool more just keep everything. You're talking to the wrong person. I've never been in touch with the Galileo. You've been at a race course and you've seen one. I wouldn't have a clue what they do with any that are left. Would you because this is why, instead of having horses and training with dermot weld, now have horses with Aiden. It's a false share situation. So you pay half a million..

"Walked into that. Oh God. And Lars vendor says, he left his last season in Ireland was 2017. He stands in in Australia now. The other thing with him is he, like he was never fashionable, but he did upgrade as mayors because and is out of hurdle winner. Chanel? Yeah. She did win on the flat as well, but she wasn't great. And I suppose he's one of the reasons that those three I mentioned were sheep buys like laws of indices was by germ of frankton as a yearning for just 8 grand. Hell the dream Peter don't above for 12. Sunny boy liston was bought back by his breeder. He was syndicated on so there's plenty of doing themselves as short. Yeah. Another one, I think, was very good start, but he's no longer covering. He stopped covering in 2017. It was harbor watch. I view look at horses, the percentage rated a 115 and over. He's number two, which wouldn't expect. Wow. So he we've got the three time group one winner waikuku. He has carnation states winner, piledriver. And then Joseph has a globetrotter by around 70. So, you know, like, he's finished that, but I don't think people were hearing off for his progeny either, but so for all I can talk about who we think are going to make it and all that. I suppose we're all in this game for the horses and the stallions and everything that I do themselves go against the odds I was just looking at cool Australia page because obviously Caravaggio was moved to America for commercial reasons because he's the fastest son of scat that ease stallion of stallions. To which when asked the quote from Ryan Moore was after he won the country as the fastest two year old ever sat on. Now that looks good on the brochure. But I wonder how many of their stallions have had that said. I think they learned their lesson after there was the and we love you cool more. But it was the best take about he has the speed to win the July cup and the class to win the ascot gold cup. I know it's the gold cup. I'm just saying, I'm differentiating between jumps. But yeah, I think they learned pretty quickly after that or probably better not say that. Too many more times. But you are right. I mean, it's part of the part of the fun of this. Maybe it's not so much fun for people like yourself who have to make decisions in terms of me should I buy this or is just trying to figure out are these stallions going to cut it? Are they going to make it? And of course, there's a hype campaign behind them. Of course, there's going to be a campaign, whether it's darly slash godolphin, whatever it is they want to call themselves now. Or the IRS national installed or cool more of course, you're going to pick up your stallion because that's the name of the game. And the more people that you get to talk about, how great your horse is. The more intriguing they are. But you can play back that video of plenty of experts talking about how time form wanted to race. Thanks for the reminder there. Siri, about how time form wanted to write hawkwing the greatest flat horse of all time. Based on his lock engine win, I lock and join the I would ask you to go back and watch and be breathtaking by, but if you really look at the start, Mick and Ann cotton something, you realize that the horse is going to make the lead doesn't load. And everybody else didn't. So he switched tactics, made the running. And set a blistering pace. He finally came of age that day, but that was it. We went to royal last card called an injury and ended up his studying career was spent in India. Glen eagles, you were talking about didn't exactly sort of dropped off the map a little bit. Are there any stallions that stud farms are now looking at and going, oh, crap, we really pulled the trigger way too early there in terms of selling that horse or would they have buyback clauses and clauses that they can bring that horse back if needs be? Because Dane hill dancers is to me a fascinating story and for those who don't know, I'll just sum it up very quickly. Then eagles is still a cool more, by the way. And availability in Ireland for the low low price of 15,000 jurors this year. But that statistic that Amy read out is a very, very interesting one. So if we're if we're going to start breeding after I win the lotto tonight, maybe Glen eagles is where we're gone. John magner will have lunch with you soon. Is there a particular stallion that you can think of? That has just gone on the cold list that you think they're going to regret that. That horse is going to have a big season. I don't know, like there are so many things our underrated or good value. I don't know of one. And the ones that get asked for it for all the, like, say, power, acceleration that I mentioned. I still don't know if they'd be commercial. At the sale. I'm realistically breeders have to get paid. Yeah. So I don't know that they would still have succeeded but I wouldn't overlook their progeny if they did become available. Or I would take a gamble on something by an unfashionable supplier. Because if you're trying to look for value, you're going to have to forgo something. There are some though that will have covert laws. There are stallions who are still here that once they do have their standard performer or their breakthrough year or whatever, they're going to get the better mayors. And more is going to come from them. We had champers elysees, one or group one in 2020. So that was towards the end of the year. They would have been he's going to have his best, but bread, crop of folds. You would think this year. He also has that patty toomey is good Philly limited aggression. Yes. There's a two year old and she's entered in the guineas and older group ones this year. Like he wouldn't have gotten the best mayors. And he's upgraded them, which is always good to see one that.

"Openly talks about how actually getting beaten in the maiden is a good thing because your horse then gets more experience and you don't have to be thrown into royal ascot. At the first time. Yeah. If a two year old made all and one, it's never seen in other horse. It hasn't ruled in between horses. It could have run with the choke. I should know. It's not always the best sport in regards Harry angel, the horse. All I was thinking about was his run of redemption time was very short price favored first time out. Across the track and was green, I know where he was heard, but he was a gorgeous gorgeous yelling 220 grand. He taught the gas UK primary yearling sale. He's had, he's had another one with promise for swimming, but he's way dark angel and as well as not performing first time out. He hasn't been a Sawyer Sawyer so far. But Harry angel, you would argue by a lethal force. Is the best? Of his sons to have retired at the store. Lethal force was well bred. Harry angel is a better pedigree. Right by bally Phillips George. So he has more of a chance I think. There's others who, like you said, will appear later in the year, the Saxon warriors, the boring lines. Everyone his odds, he's our tally Ho. No stranger to standing champion first season sawyers. Damn right. Who's obviously made a great start as a sore as you've a day, our dad called see Cody bear. He wouldn't have been as good a race horse as any of those. He did win the mill reef on soft ground, but I thought it was telling that afterwards John garrison said he would look at group races in Italy and France. So he did a very impressive winner first time out. A new market to jala, train boy roger varian, who's now 14 to one for the Norfolk. And there's good word on them. They were good-looking horses at the erling sales. He could be worn who else have we got expert I mentioned before. Like, you've cracked my and they will appear later in the year as well. Yeah, they're going to be long-term prospects. Yeah. I suppose taz lead comes into it. Yeah. Tasley, there's plenty to talk about him. He had a horse held for 230 grand at the Donny breeze up there recently. Bought by Richard Brown. Who supported our dad in his first season on bob perfect power. So if he's on, if he's right again, his leaders want to follow his first runner, we'll do that, by the way. People just blindly follow somebody who has gotten it right before and just go. I suppose it's not blindly like Richard Brown is a top George plenty of people like taz Lee, he wouldn't be for me personally. His first runner won't carmella. Yeah. Your arm is made. He's from the family of batash. He was a good racehorse himself, but I don't know. His voice showcasing who I think is a bit overpriced or overrated, however, where he looked at it. Take that show, Casey. He does have some top class horses, you know, he has my master, but he's well bred. You know, by the Johnson Hortons, he is, but I just think I like looking at he's a beer piece. I find his and like he would have gotten poorer when I was starting off showcasing. But I don't think there's enough strength in depth. To his progeny, like bought this year's two year olds for bread off a career high fee of 55,000. He once started a four and a half grand, you know? So, you know, the best showed column this year. He's definitely one to look out for his two year olds this year. But I like looking at what stallions have progeny rated 80 plus, racing post on their statistics. Page, they do go of racing post ratings of 80 plus and then a hundred plus. And you often see some surprising ones there. Plenty eagles would have fallen out of favor until last year with a lot of people. He's number 13 for progeny rated 8 percentage approach with a race post rating of 80 plus. When you probably wouldn't expect at number 20 is roderick O'Connor, who now stands in India. Wait. What? Yeah. If you go to race post rating of a hundred plus, he's actually number 13. So, you know, then you've Caravaggio, who's already moved to the U.S., he obviously kind of obviously had some good two year olds where wasn't until new market towards the end of the season that he got to group one winner. Yeah. But he finished best of the first season saw his last year. If you go by ratings of 80 plus, one of my favorites who wouldn't be not everybody would be a fan, brave and pass. He is 38% of his progeny a rated 80 plus. And 10% are rated a hundred plus. That's the same as mama and no one I never. What he wouldn't usually be mentioned in the same breath. Like, dark angel is only one percentage higher than him. Another interesting one with a high percentage of rated hundred plus is a celebration. Also no longer standing in Ireland. So there's plenty of stallions who kind of go against the odds. Tell me a horse who is no longer standing in Ireland who saw your three.

"Something. Whereas the group one winning sprinters who would have retired it. In the same year, there are going to be way cheaper. He's 65 grand. No, top class, wouldn't you? My favorite horse of last year? More grateful as a three year old. He's a half brother to Magna graecia, but like I'm not saying he won't live up to the hype or that fate, but I'm just, you know, that's just an example of how if you're going, if you're a breeding or buying or anything like that, like there's no way I'd be looking at tape marks for sellers because first falls. Like me, having to give somebody profit off 65 grand. And it would have been a well bred mayor as well. They're going to want 6 figures for that. So don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good value middle distance and stairs. Like sure, pile driver. You know, they couldn't sell him as a yearling for ten grand. He couldn't be given away. Yeah. You know, and like maybe with the popularity of the precocious sprinters, you know, maybe it'll then the stairs will become more affordable. And then that's where people will end up looking for value. It's the same with like, how is prices, you know? The cool trendy kids go to the cheap district because they can afford them, then it becomes a cool area and then everybody else flocks children has prices sore. You know, maybe it'll circle on the other way with bloodstock. But I don't really think so. But there's many you've got stairs, you know, that were cheap. So it's not that I'm saying if you want to get into race and go buy a precocious sprinter. I'm not saying that. But I don't know why people turn their noses up at them, you know? And complain about the lack of middle distance forces. Or the lack of demand for yeah, especially when there is plenty of money being spent on middle distance horses. It's just that maybe they're a little bit out of reach. Your point about power driver being one of them. It can be, I suppose, a bit more feasts and famine for the horses to get a trip, but sales. You know, if they've posh pedigree posh stallion, you know, people are going to look at them as potential classic horses in the future, whereas they are going to get a trip in their ad for handicap winner. They're probably going to end up being a hurdler. So maybe it's a bit more feast than 500 sales for those to sport. I don't know, I think the real problem in the breeding industry. A bit like in racing is there are two many poor horses being bred. Okay, talk to me about that. Well, you know, we've high fall crops and you look at any sale. You know, everybody wants the nice ones. And then there's people complaining at the bottom that nobody wants their horses. You know, the mayor could have produced 5 horses already. They're all no good. Why are you still greeting from her? Or why are you complaining that nobody wants her stock? You know, if you believe something will come out of the family, then you put your money into it. And you put her in training. But the two year old and trading. But don't complain that nobody else wants her. Or, say, with some stallions, you know, there are having said that when you don't expect to be God can end up top pass and there's plenty I'm not saying don't have a dream, don't believe in fairytales this plenty of them happening. But there are too many bodily bred horses. And yes, like they can call out of nowhere, these good horses, but plenty of cheap horses, you know, make money, but I think there are too many people breeding at poorer mayors. They could have been mayors that were on sound, whether it be of wind or limb. It's the same with the stallions. I think that's more an issue. You know, the numbers game. Is it a given? By the end of the suit nation is going to be leading for a season Saturday, or is he going to be a cautionary tale like some before him? Well, he's made a good start. I think the in the only recent in recent years, the only champion first he's sorry that didn't also have big numbers was no name ever. So I suppose if soon nation flocked and something else out did itself and he may not be. I do think the fact that Havana gray has runners in England is going to make it easier for him to rack up the Don bricks. But I'd probably go to an ancient. But that's probably because I don't just want a horse who just gets numbers to because I think there would be quality insurance numbers as well. It's not just a numbers game. I love following all of them. I'd like U.S. Navy flags to do well. Very well bred, talk us two year old. I love expertise too well. Sort of acclimation. Great sorry of sires. Harry angel, top class race force. I do think his horses will probably improve from roles. He's quite dark angel. They're known for not running their best first time out. They don't breeze well for that reason as well. Why is that? Amy. I don't know. They just come on from the wrong here once they're gone. I don't think we really matters. I'd rather have a God horse that didn't win first time out than a bad horse who I did itself first time. Briefly, Aiden has talked about on the show we're on for some basis now. Because he's been on the show so many times. But he's openly talks about how actually getting beaten in the maiden is a good thing because your horse then gets more experience and you don't have to be thrown into royal ascot. At the first.

"Well, you know, if what you have are sprinters, how can you train a model for it? You know, you can only train what you have. You can only buy what you can afford, you know, a well bred, you know, potential Derby contender at the yearling sales. It's going to cost a hell of a lot more than a potential Roy asco two year old winner. Yeah, that's true. I think it is usually more affordable. Now we'll have it said that if you bought a mile and a half worth, it kind of then go on over hurdles, you might have more options, but I think people can be very snotty, but it's for interest as well. You know, and. I don't mean that I don't ask Mario, obviously I do any of us would have loved to have race Saxon warrior. Good. I don't, I don't radiate appreciate the. There is a strawberry by sprinters. There are always lower rated than the top. Miler or middle distance works. But you say that. But you would have been in some of these. So you'll have had the opportunity to see in the tattoos craven breeze up, here we go again with the breeze ups. Tara stalls October yearling sale, book two. We actually spoke to them about that in the podcast. And book one. So we had horses go for and these are soon nations. One was sold for £380,000. My John John magner bought one for our MV magner bought one for 215,000, Al shahira farm. I'm sure of butcher that pronunciation apologies to all involved. €230,000, a 160,000 pounds. I'm pretty sure that's a half to a very good horror, so. Like, I'm not saying soon as affordable. Or a gold one isn't it. There are ones who went for expensive. There are ones who went for cheaper. She'll be set. But it's intriguing to me that when you look at the likes of, I mean, even sex and warrior and I'm just looking at his sales results here as well. 540,000 you won't for. To BBA Ireland. For one of his sons who's Indian ridge mayor, if you look at median prices, I think there are better reflection than. Yeah, that's a good show. Do you want to just explain that? Medium versus top price. So I feel like averages can be unreliable because if that horse had a Corporal of absolute Sterling quarter of a million horses, but the rest, he was very hit and miss, you know, he had very others were very low. He could still have a really high average. Whereas the median would give you a better idea of what the majority of them were and Saxon warrior had for his first crop a year lengths was a 50,000 guineas median where as soon as was 22. So, you know, that's not necessarily, I wouldn't judge your horse on that. Sales horses aren't always resources. His first crop mama asked to look at, you know, he's not wild blow you away. He's small ish. He's like erased, you know, little terrier. He was a very good breeze of horse for John Coleman and roger Marley. He's acclimation line and all that. So he has a great stallions profile, but his first season yearlings wouldn't have sold that well. So I'm not saying that George is determines the success of a stallion board. My point is those it's like saint mark's basilica retired with a very high fee. 40.

"Very interestingly, and maybe you can say this is for the cool more brochure if you want to be cynical, but I asked Dominica last year, who is the best source you ever wrote, and he said, without a shadow of a doubt, it was sex and warrior. And I think we'd both agree that was always who didn't live up to his potential. It was there. But he didn't quite see it out. But he was a group one winner as juvenile, obviously he won the 2000 guineas. I remember being there at the Derby and going oh God. The Irish Derby didn't go to plan, don't like ironically beat him. And he gets injured in the Irish champion stakes, but he was a very, very solid race horse. And he's quite excited about him. I think he has some of his progeny this year. But he's a horse that it will take time. He stands a cool more for 20. Soon Asian stands to cool more for ten. So when you talk about ors, you can understand why people are buying precocious sources. Not so much speed but Picasso because that means that you're more likely to get a winner now. Is that something long term that you're concerned about for the world of bloodstock and breeding in the northern hemisphere, particularly screw the rest of them. Special emphasis in Ireland and the UK that we're getting distracted by speed and we're getting distracted by proko city and we're not focusing on what the Japanese have decided to do, which is breed for stamina because our premier races are about stamina, yet we seem to become obsessed with Sioux nation is odds on favorites to be champion. First season sire. Would you not think that half of his fee is half the price of sacraments? Like, it's also affordability. Yeah, but it's the same when you're buying out the sales. If you go look at the Saxon warrior, they want to profit off a 20 grand nom. Whereas give them so many profit off at ten grand on is going to be easier. You know, it's a lot to do with affordability. Who says middle distance is better than a mile or so? Says the daughter of fast Eddie. Of course. No, I know, but it's also what you can afford. That isn't big on the far steady or spring name because they think he doesn't want to be pigeonholed. And he's trained ten for a long horses. Yeah, and how can he's trained national home winners back in the day?.

"Then goes on a winning run. Of two. And then returns to when there's enclosure and ends up taking 1.5 million in prize money. Sterling. And that money did not come from Hong Kong, and it certainly didn't come from the UK for the races he was running in there. So yeah, that's something I was asking about is Australia and just the impact that they're having. But in terms of Sue nation, one of the things you were talking about is you would prefer to nurture a horse and I can see why and I would be like that as well actually I would quite like to I would love the resources and the time to be able to hand. Talk to you and Sarah and Darren and have a good long conversation about the type of force to buy to give you to thrive with and then let's see where we go. And let's see how high Sarah can bring these three horses. Who knows? The lottery may very well be one tonight and horses would be running in different colors. You never know. But there is a sense of accomplishment about bringing us through as opposed to buying the finished product. And then I suppose also you could buy a horse and training and turn his career around as well. So yeah, yeah. So that's a 100% true. But I suppose the initial question I have to come back to you on then is where we are with the breeding situation in the UK and Ireland. And you were talking about the amount of runners that Sue nation is going to have. It's almost like unless he tanks. Which seems unlikely. It's going to be very, very difficult to beat him, which is why he's such a long odds on favorite Havana gray. We'll have a decent number of runners from then you've got Saxon warrior. And Saxon warrior is going to be very intriguing..

"So they're not my cup of tea, but here are plenty of talk crosswords come out of them. And a lot of the people consigning our top class judges Norma Williamson is one for native trail. Eddie O'Leary and mine's hotel for enlarged John colon, roger Marty, their top class, Johnny Collins, for a brown island. You know, here I'm kind of named them all, but a top class judges are preparing those horses. But a bunch of like, how many stakes winners does he sell for? Yeah, just personally, I'd rather buy as a fall or a year and one for value and to just because that's what appeals to me. It's a bit more imagination to it. As he gets mentioned, actually, mister Eddie O'Leary, because Michael is seemingly stepping away from racing. I had people coming up to me at the commentary booth in alongside films and Gavin shell, it's Fenton. And Phil baker was on the Irish grand national podcast and we'll be back after a sensation around the tipping. Saying, Eddie's after buying a lot of horses. Does this mean the only reason staying in? That could easily have been for the stallion farm, though, it might not have been for Michael. Well, I think the stores point boy sees me running in the national haunt side. He is involved in buying for back to stored. And he's all from a Cornell. So because just be working with him, I wouldn't be privileged that information. So I'm not sure if for sure, but eat off me bidding for a batch of store all right. Some owners of Gordon. So. And back to our friend just after, doesn't it? Nolan Valerie. No, no, I'm not anymore. So back to Nolan Valerie Moore and they changed them there. They thought back to stored in county meat. So yeah, they're breeding as well as freezing. So let's not get too excited then. The O'Leary's might not be trolling everybody. Well, I could be wrong, but he's definitely buying for other people as well. So you'd be a soul not to want to judge like Eddie on your side. Damn, right? Damn right. Who will be listening to the show right now? So there you go. There's your show that. Before we say anything insulting, which results in these beats by Dre headphones being thrown against the wall as he goes out for his jog. I still remember him because he's a very imposing presence, Ellie. And shattered love I just want to jump them. And I remember him coming over and sticking his finger in my shoulder and going, you know, I'm the biggest listener to your show. And then he just walking on. Like, no, no conversation. No, like, he did say keep it up. But that was it. Like just strolled on, kept on going. So yeah, we see you Eddie. So your thoughts on the breeze are very interesting. And I would fully agree with you. Is there a part of you that is you were talking about almost the old school mysticism magic of nurturing a horse. If your dad or Sarah was to bring a horse back as a full and you're that involved in nurturing that horse, you're the one, it was a trainer recently saying to me about how you get what you put in, it's not just the work, it's the feed as well. If you think of an athlete, if you feed yourself the best, then you can be the best. It doesn't, it's not always going to work out that way just because you've bred to be great, doesn't mean that you're going to be oh yeah, there's so many elements to it. I won't be an expert because I don't wear my own my pin hooks and I leave it to people who know better and I watch Sarah and dad but like there's so many things involved in it Sarah is not into all the different supplements to get forces data has been to and whether it's a natural remedy as well or but then you have things like a good barrier, you know like John marketeer is there fire he just a talk job. Like there's so much there's so many things like isn't it that horse was a red Kirk warrior he supposing one of the reasons he kind of failed in Hong Kong and Australia was because he got terrible feet in Hong Kong. And he wasn't running well. He ended up in Roscoe, didn't he? Yeah, he came over Troy Scott and he saw he'd been trained by William haggas sold out Hong Kong disappointed with bad feet. And ended up in Australia. But yeah, then he was top class. He was a top class sprinter, ended up a royal ascot, ran the July cop. But supposedly that was why he failed in Hong Kong because his feet were really bad, but they obviously got him a good fire in Australia. Which, you know, like it's your feed, your vet, so many things. Like having a physio in, maybe a chiropractor, there's all different elements. It's not just case of exercising them. Yeah, no, I'm not an expert on any of those things. But I for detail, as supposedly, in O'Brien's greatest asset, is that he's such a great memory, and I've read these things that nothing goes unnoticed. What I find fascinating with all the top training. Yeah, I think John gosden is amazing at that as well. And I think both Aiden and John are very good at communicating. Like John is a very eloquent man, but they're both very good at communicating people criticize Aiden when he starts trailing off praising the staff at home. Well, you know, if it wasn't for the work that Amy has done and if it wasn't for what Sarah has done and Eddie and if it wasn't for all of the hard work that Melissa's done, but he's genuinely giving praise to people who put in a massive amount of work. And he's in a very privileged position that he has the staff to be able to do that because that's almost a conversation in itself right now. In Ireland. And so he wants to be able to have those conversations. By the way, red cork warrior won his two races in the UK for not an enormous amount of money. One once in Hong Kong. What distance did he went over in the UK? One mile two. Yeah. In Hong Kong. Why not now Cato, so I'm very nice. You think he can stay? Yeah. Here's where things get interesting. He goes to Hong Kong just as you said, he won one race, finished second. He actually did okay. But they got shot of him very, very quickly. He had 5 runs bye bye. Spent just one year there. He comes back in October 2016 in Australia, finishes second..

"Maybe don't follow up. So I don't know if his son's progeny are like that as well. But you know, stats are broken all the time in racing. Sure, Galileo gold. I'm sure everybody kind of questioned the fact that he was by Paco boy. Yeah, you know, so he's out of a guy on air, you know? But I'm sure that put a lot of people off what true there he is. Like, statistics are great, not but at the same time, if you're looking for a bit of value or you need to think it's like the box, you're going to go against the stats and hope it works out and it often does. That's why we all love racing. That's quite the small breeders people ongoing. So just because he's not that would go against some like looking back at what happened before. I don't think that means that's concrete that it won't happen again. I'm pretty sure bushranger was favored to be champion for season saw. Back in the day. But look what happened to him. Not much. Yeah, exactly. So I'm seeing all these things in my opinion, but at the end of the day, it could all go against what the facts say. It should happen. Yeah, but it's very unpredictable. To quote the big lebowski, it's just your opinion. Man, I could have delivered that in a much better way. In trying to inform listeners about four seasons hours. First of all, what we're trying to do is we don't want to punch down. We never do on the funnel for a long, we don't want to be patronizing in any way. And by all means, one of the things I would say to you is do the work yourself. Put in the homework yourself, you're going to hear an awful lot of hype from people who are going to tell you, oh, these two nations, wow, everybody wants them. They can't be beat. Poor old roaring line, like, wow, these are burning up the gallops at new market. Everybody wants a piece of roaring line. And it's a rare breed, and they will use those tactics in the ring. You've heard that yourself. They don't make them like this anymore. And these kind of stuff to get the price up. The expert I come on now, folks, these expert eyes, they're going for a fortune. Getting now or forget about it. And the reality is that some of these horses just don't cut it. And so that's why we're trying to give you as much information as we can and that's why Amy is on because Amy is at the sales. So she's seeing these sources up close. She works in the training industry. She works in the breeding industry and you're taking this beautiful photograph. I mean, you have some of the best breeze up individuals and breeders coming to you and saying, will you take a photograph of my horse, please? The breeze ups I always remember when they came to Europe, dare I say, when they came to the UK and Ireland always remember going, oh, that's interesting because it was very much an American thing. And I've noticed Charlie appleby be a bit skeptical. About breeze ups. From my memory, native trail was a breeze of course. Yeah. Corbin wasn't. He kept saying, I've got a better one to come. And we'll find out at the weekend if that's the case. Not to try and date the show too much, but we're recording on Wednesday the 27th April before the 2000 Guinea. So we'll find out if native trail is the beast that he looks, but what's your own impression of breeze offs? I think they serve a purpose, there wouldn't be for me. I suppose they take a bit of the guesswork out of it, I suppose. But just because of horse breeze as well, it doesn't mean he's top class racehorse. Obviously, it does work out sometimes. If I was buying, I'd rather a year in ang because or a full because I don't know, there's a magical part of it where they haven't done anything. You're just judging on how they look how they move and what their pedigree is. Whereas, you know, there's a bit of guests were taken out about the breeze. Produced plenty of top class horses. Jill perfect power was from the Donny breeze up as well and even in the early days of the breeze over here. Plenty of good horses came out of them. Almost horses came from the yearning sales as well. So unusually a group cheaper. But no, we're definitely constantly top class horses comment the breeze ups made of trail, perfect power, just two at the moment. It has made yielding prices a bit more expensive, I feel, because we spoke about, you know, people want precocious sources. And now when you're a small train or walking into the ring, following one end, you're going to have 5 razor blades walking in with you, ready to spit against you. So that is one irritating thing when you're trying to fall yet a year long now. Anything that looks for us if it early. But they're popular. Well, they're popular at the top. Everybody wants the same horses. I find it hard to pick out what you buy from them because if a horse breeze as well, obviously everybody wants that. So that's going to be expensive. But then if a horse doesn't breathe so well and you're taking it on somebody's recommendation or whatever. If it doesn't breathe well and then it ends up slow, you're kind of like, well, I don't have myself blamed, didn't I? Plenty of them breeze badly, you know, they only have two furlongs to shine, you know, on the day and they don't always show up on the day. Maybe there's a headwind, maybe they just got stage fright,.

"Quickly, because that Donald McCain open morning is done and dusted. Apparently it was a huge success. So well done to everybody who was there, hopefully you enjoyed it. And hopefully you invested as well. You'll have a lot of fun. But yeah, we'll have a new script from Darren soon enough. And indeed, Colin from kaluki as well. Who is the voice in the background, making the cameo? No, it's not Sarah line them. It's Amy lineham. Welcome to the show, Emmy. Thanks for having me. You are not only a fantastic equine photographer, but you're also a bloodstock expert. You're a regularly at the sales. You've been an integral member of the line of dynasty for quite some time and you're to talk to us today in a series of specials about first season sires. That we need to be keeping very close eye on this season. So I suppose the big talk was always going to be about the likes of sex and warrior and for a roaring line, but soon nation very quickly went to everybody's minds. And long odds on favorite the last time I checked to be the champion first season sire. And when you look at the sailors results, they're quite extraordinary. So we'll break that down with you and talk about his prospects for the season and we've already seen Aiden, I think, produce one as well. If I'm not wrong, by all means jump in at any point where you go, Aiden hasn't trained one yet. Because that can easily happen. But are we so I was fascinated and Sarah was talking about this on the show as well. And that's the last time I will mention the lesser sister. Jesus murdered by Sarah lane, the next time she sees me, which could very well be in her stable. To do a stable tour, clear your mindset. But the Japanese dominated at the previous cup and they dominated in Dubai. Even so much so that Johnny merchants over sunny boy list and was second in Saudi Arabia to. Or I forgot the name of the horse now and he then comes out and wins at Dubai as well. It was first gold or something on those lines. It can't be that simple because he's obviously a great jump source. But they're focused on middle distance breeding and they're obviously doing exceptionally well at that. In the northern hemisphere, we're very much focused our emphasis is on speed and precocious stallions and precocious breeding. Yeah, well, I think probably more precocious rather than speed. But I think there is a lot to do with the fact that in Japan, you're going to have the most elite people owning racehorses. You know, there's no syndicates. There's no people buying a horse for 5 grand, and then winning at royal ascot. You know, like when you become an owner in Japan, you have to give them all your bank, your banking history, your net worth, all your family members, it's very intense becoming an owner in Japan. So, you know, they're not there and I don't want to spend money on a horse and it won't run until three. You know, like money is no object when you're owning in Japan and I suppose that's why their priorities haven't changed. Whereas I think it's more that people starting off in the game. They're not going to want to pay to have words in training and they won't see it run until three. And I think that's perfectly understandable. Like, you know yourself. You've owned race sources. You know, it's an expensive game. And yeah, anything can happen. You've come by what you think is the two year old type, and it doesn't appear until three. But if you bought what looked like a three year old type, it doesn't appear until four, so you're rocking up the bills. And then you might find out it's no good as well. Yeah. So I think it's more like a time issue. People are looking at a horse and they're thinking, I won't even know if this is any good until it's free. So the fact that that is a very real issue within the world of racing that you can obviously if a stallion becomes successful, their price is going to skyrocket. If a new stallion comes onto the market who is related to that stallion, you could be forgiven for looking at that and saying, oh, you know what I'm going to just, I'm going to take a chance here. I knew it. I knew it. Tiger pole. Tiger Paul run the dog. This is the horse Aiden was talking to us about because he's out of a high shepherd. Yeah. Yeah, run a fine race. U.S. Navy flag horse. No no. Yes. Ocean vision. U.S. Navy flag bated breath finished in second. Oh yeah, yes, yeah. You are right though, because the U.S. Navy flag of course actually, there is a U.S. Navy flag, cool more thing in the studio here, cool more thing has. In the studio here, so obviously we're flying the flag pardon the poem for him and we'll chat about him a little bit later on as well and how he was campaigned and how they learned to turn things around with him, but it's a fascinating way of looking at it. I didn't realize that the restrictions were as tough as they are. In Japan, for one thing. And secondly, then that makes more sense that why you would go for a precocious source or a precocious type, but if you are looking at obviously scat that is no longer around and he was, it was almost as though kilmore had finally got the we got him. We've tapped into the. Hennessy bloodline that we've tried to tap into for so long through Scott daddy and we're finally there. We've got Hennessy. We've got Johannesburg. And now we've got Scott daddy and he didn't, unfortunately, he died as an 11 year old. But was it a very, very valuable studying for them? And of course, the search is now on for his next son. So where does Sue nation rank then for you? As a breeder, as somebody who is advising people to sales, who's seeing these sources close up with the sales as well. Where does he stand for? Well, I think he's, you know, there's good reason that he's short priced favorite to be leading for season saw. He's got a bit of 30% more two year olds than any other first season saw. That'll do it. Sorry. That'll do it. That'll give him a fair old advantage over everybody. Yeah, he's had two winners already. Like he would have been sent to high caliber of mayor. Having said that, you have philanthropy would be had plenty of support too. He has a 113 two year olds run from and the thing going in his favor is that I think the majority of them will be in the UK. It's pretty easy to say that winning a two year old race in the UK is going to be easier than Ireland. So controversial contour. I'm not sure many people. That's absolutely spot on. He's had three winners already, but he said 12 runners, you know, whereas Sue nation has had two winners from.

"A smaller country, but you're still sending horses from me to cork, like any Dublin up the north. How difficult is it when the prices continue to rise? To try to make decisions about where you're going to send, does it affect the decision making process and where you're going to send a horse because things like rising fuel costs have major impacts on trainers. I think I suppose I always gave it a good amount of thought because it was always quite expensive to build and learn open and send a horse to quirk and killarney or somewhere like that. You wouldn't want to do it unless you thought you had a good chance or even a few horses going. That's the way I always looked at it because I don't like to charge owners raising expenses on necessarily. Just the worrying thing is the prices have gone up in so many sectors, the price of feed has gone up, supplements, bedding, everything's gone up and especially as a small trainer starting out the last thing you want to do is to pull up your training fees. So it's difficult and everyone sort of in a pinch, you don't want to complain, obviously, because as you say, there's worse things happening in the world, but it does make it really difficult. Racing isn't a sport that makes it, you know, winning Verizon money doesn't make a pay. And the prize money in Ireland is very poor. You know, we get told that England is bad, and art and has only really better in comparison. I know that in France, they get paid owners get money towards travel expenses and things like that. Which we don't get here and would be much more welcome. I think the things that. You know, ITM before I'd like those IRA incentive schemes that if you win, you get ten grand to your next purchase of an arch breadwinner. That's sort of helping something in the future. People who may or may not buy another horse, whereas I think they should have boners in the here and now because it's very difficult for everyone. Yeah, I can't think of a solution except I wish we had more prize money something more to entice owners in the game. But there's still seems to be plenty of them about you just have to think more wisely where you send your horses on what you spend your money on, but the price of everything is going up even physios because they have to travel to and from the art, things like that. Things you wouldn't expect. Yeah, I saw a piece on Sky News about gas and they were talking about it even in just the concept of beer. Like as a pint. And I think it's arisen 600% in the last year and I was before the Russia Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. And the guys basically said, you're not far away from 7 pounds a pint. Now at 7 pounds of pint of cheltenham, but in your general local pop. We're not far away from that. That's how bad it is. So it's not just affecting everybody, you have to look at the industry and the industry there is this fallacy about Irish racing that of our prize money is so much better. No, it's not. There's a staffing crisis in the UK. Guess what? This is a staffing crisis in Ireland. Race courses need to watch things like that. Like they did a child and putting up the prices because people would come one time and something like that was scared them away. You know, the race courses ever responsibility to look not just to make money on the day would do foster a love for the game and create new fans. I think they're the part of the industry that has had an easy time of it. They've been getting money when there was lockdowns and no racing and they get the TV money and they've been well. Yeah. So they need to have a responsibility to look after the industry as a whole and not just powerfully around for it. I completely agree with you about that. They still kind of hold off on revealing what the media writes are. I think you know, I know. But I'm not in a position to say it because it's not out there. It's a ton of money and they could spread it around a bit when you hear that prices for cheltenham are already going up for next year. You're like, what the hell are you doing? 'cause you're right, people are just gonna go maybe I'll just watch it from home, or maybe we'll just go for one day, as opposed to going for four. Saturday, which is a bit disappointing seeing as though the fields were the drawers look really good. I noticed that it was disappointing to see. But then again, people are reacting to the Dublin racing festival and queuing for an hour and a half for a point now. I know they fixed it on the Sunday. If you don't have the staff, then that's what's going to happen. Speaking of race course is now prioritizing the industry and looking after themselves. Labyrinth actually knocked down a couple of years ago. The saddling styles. To build a crash, I presume they make money out of that when racing isn't on, I don't know, maybe they don't, but they have quite a they have no sounding styles which are not the same caliber and they're quite poor surface and horses get posed up there, but it just goes to show that the way that race courses are thinking, they're not thinking about the racing people or catering for the everyday because when I was at that percent on Saturday and there was hardly anyone there, I was wondering how many people are using the crush today. Very little I imagine, very little. Yeah. All right, who is your takeout horse of the weekend? Homeless songs, I think. She was very impressive. I did think that in the, one of the handicaps, there was a horse Brazil power. I didn't think he quite stayed the ten for atoms, but I know he's well regarded, and I thought he'd be interesting dropping back maybe to a mile. Okay, give us that name again. Brazil power. Brazil is one of the unreasonable for Joseph. He's going into the notebook as a horse to follow. And obviously, the winner actually Joseph's winner. It looks extremely well handicapped.

"At us, you know, anyone could have roared when my wings to win or the right she got on the day was extraordinary. If you watch rob James, the way he lined up to start he walked in at the back, I am for years Scottish national and thinking you can not win the rest of the back. But he walked in at the back. I'd said it was too hard behind him going to first. He wrote a very, very clever race would allow after a circus and get after getting her into a kind of a rhythm and jump and rhythm. He seemed to pull out why he'd been allowed to go up and have to go. He was outweighed and he was waiting for the pierce to slow down. So that he could age forward that never take my wings out of a rhythm. So once the pace slowed down entering the back straight, the last time, which it did, rob James, and when my wings were in such a good rhythm, they'd ended up getting into about 6 even knowing over there. The winners stood out all the way around, he kept nursing around without moving. He had his hands down in our winter. And she just jumped from fence defense. She was beautiful to watch real good jumper. And again, using his knowledge for his experience or whatever you want to call it, but kicking on early again in the straight and air was a key. Jumping so well and never take care of a rhythm. She just bound clear and took to Glen's elder without ever even knowing it and she was very, very, very impressive when and I'm sure Chris just said afterwards that might finish her for deceives at the season while that would, you know, she's only 9. She looks at potential certainly an Irish grand national next year. I don't know about English one, but certainly an Irish national Phillies have a bad record in the English national apparently, but yeah, kid is like, you know, kid is like jumped off in front of when my wings rob James obviously sought to follow Jack Tudor on kitty's light. But made some bad errors early on. Some jumping errors knocked knocked him back. He got hampered by followers. Yeah, just kind of lost his position in a kind of a bad claim and claim couldn't was always on the back foot after that was really struggling to get into it whereas rob James was able to play white, kept my wings in a good rhythm. Even though he was probably losing a bit of ground being outweighed, he was always in that space where, you know, in all the big races, there's always a bubble dissolve is a space, there's always some bit of a bubble, the winners always and he was in it. And kitty's light wasn't. And it was a terrific run from kitty's lady. If you actually watch kitties like in the back of the last he made up some ground now, you know, never going to be the winner for a fantastic run. I love the way Katie's life got the ground and the back of the last over over three miles 7 that is the grand national hearts for the future, cases like for sure. Major Dundee had a very good policy in the race kind of road in the first 5 or 6. For another impactful, had to run the race, no excuses, a lovely run for a 7 year old novice. Alan King, again, terrific training performance. And he'd be gone home to laser thinking he's got a really nice numbers for next year. And yeah, it's a bit of a shocker. It didn't really expect to be finished in the mix, but has the farm has that far from a long way back, but a flat horse, Japanese flatbread by fine grain. It's good training for the infrared house to finish forward. I thought it was very good. And it was a terrific reason to watch, but it was, it was all about the train, I wasn't. It was all about the winner and the trainer really. It was a fantastic performance by Christian Williams really to produce the first and the second. And then the manner in which he was brilliant. And obviously, for rob James, is on his second winner in the UK, his force winner since he went into a few years ago for garden Elliott. So it was a good, good, good writing. Good ride by him too for an amateur. And I thought it was a good result. All around. Just goes to show the faith that Christian Williams has in amateurs like rob James. Because he knows the talent is there to put him up on my wings. And in the post race interview, I really admired the fact that he came out and said, I've been saying all week how bullish I am. And that he really believed that he was going to win the race. But he couldn't split them. He couldn't, he couldn't tell you if it was going to be Getty's light or when my wings. He was just really, really confident. And that's on record. You can go back and read what he was saying. Pre race. That he was incredibly confident and very bullish.

"Look back on the weekend that was Sarah linen will talk to us about the classic trials at leopardstown, but the mainland Dennis Oregon is alongside me as we look back at air and the Scottish grand national meeting. Welcome back to the show Dennis. I am is how are you? I'm in good form, my friend. We'll race on through here a couple other races beginning with the one 15, our boy Sean quinlan was in the winners enclosure, so we can't begrudge him that. Despite the fact that he not a nihilistic on the line, who was just held and was put up by all three of us. Brian Hughes and Peter and Evans horse ran an absolute cracker, but I thought Sean got a fantastic tune out of return ticket returning at 11 to one with kaluki. What did you make of the race? Yeah, listen, it was a funny sort of race, recommence has had a very good year. Again, going back to what I said, I'm a terrible host has been on the pace. You know, he was very much on the past, he tried to leaders. And any letter, and it made all the difference. I was delighted to see Rebecca Menzies have a winner. She is a very good season. It was nice to see her have a good winter and back up her good season, where a good winter here in the listed contest. Chunk Quinn is also at a very good year. Very good jockey. And quite on the rate that I reckon in the north of England is shown. And also it was nice to see I did think it would go to an order and trainer. But I just wasn't sure which one it was and to be just I suppose my tip. Ran an ice race, ran a good race, and Peter never had a spot on what I am afraid to wait was the difference. It was a pound of a difference. And for me, that was the one that losing of the air pound. Yeah, so I can give a pound. And he ended up running ended up being held up. Now, obviously it was a very vengeful race in that.

"Think tony snell. Just because he's so consistent. I mean he's not flashy. But i could see especially with what they're going to want to do with that second unit and if they're really gonna try to hand the keys to anthony simon's on offense. I see tony. Snell being the guy. But i think this is gonna gonna battle him. I think that's my for me. The most interesting battling camp is what's going to happen with tony style and the little and who can edge the other one out because with a new coach. I just think tony snell's not the guy is gonna go out there and make self inflicted mistakes were necessarily little. You know being a younger player trying to prove himself my back himself into a corner a little bit. But you know. Kevin pelton brought up a very interesting idea as far as you know rolling out a jumbo lineup. And maybe we see a little bit of larry nance junior at the small forward position in certain lineups. And you know. I just haven't seen it before but i you know it's an interesting thought exercise and i'm wondering if it's something that they will try to experiment with At least early in the season. Yeah i mean. Cleveland had some lynam slash year with With especially earlier in the season in love. And and larry nance so. I think it's entirely possible. Obviously i think this will be a little bit better. It'll just depend. How shakes out. But again like i agree like i totally see that and i agree as well on nas because he was a guy. One of the few gripes had with terry stotts last year and just in terms of rotations. Because i've never really had an issue with his rotations. I've always thought he's pretty good job of managing it last year. Though i wanted nas to play more and it didn't happen. I think this year's your that becomes a real rotation guy because you can look up and down the roster. Think they're eight eight. Pretty clearly solidified spots nine. I think if you're including tony. Snell if i can count correctly That's eight or nine. But point being nas unlocks like that last piece where you can say okay. He's playing ten twelve minutes a game. We need somebody else. who can. Maybe that doesn't like like a super size of like talking about or even downsizing you play him at the three rokos at the four. And you have larry at the five like you can do just a lot more..

Plucky Watson, Serena's Escape
"And welcome one last time this fortnight to the tennis podcast and Wimbledon relived on. What would have been men's Finals Day of the twenty twenty championships have finally. The Sun is out. It's been a frankly miserable. What would have been Wimbledon fortnight, which is made the the pain of? Missing out on Wimbledon slightly easier to bare certainly for me personally, but it's A. It's a lovely summer's day today. And it would be a nice day to be enjoying. The men's final especially is the The flying ants have the memo that Wimbledon didn't happen. they are out in force which is. A Wimbledon tradition. Hadn't done well, that's. Today's the first I've I've probably missed it and I think maybe the weather is part of that. And we've we've just watched a match with an amazing atmosphere which I think probably also stirs that feeling a little bit, and probably because it's the last day of what would have been Wimbledon and us is the last day of Wimbledon relived for now. What a pointed addendum to that sentence David. Wouldn't next one planned for us. When should we brace also? Developing! Certain Olympic week looming on the horizon A. I feel like I. DO actually need a week off now. I feel like doing relieved of all of the sports. The Olympics will be doing archery relived. Staging two thousand eight. She's just ain't doing on this fate going. Stop the Autry podcast. Doing the end is near. You can have asleep seen. Yes well I'm going to hold David to even I want a week off now that is that is is not my writing, but if it said. We need to on that. You know it doesn't apply to middle of the night. What's absolute? There's a moratorium on on that. today, folks. We take you to the year. Twenty, fifteen. And a third round match between eventual champion Serena Williams, and then British number one had the watson a much which ended up defining that Wimbledon Fits Serena in in some ways defining the extraordinary and dramatic year that she had on tour in twenty, fifteen and much that kind of. Defines Wimbledon in some ways we'll certainly encapsulates Wimbledon the the sun, setting over just resplendent center court with. British ten tennis fans out in force getting behind a plucky Brit that half in the mid never heard of that morning. It's. It's Wimbledon all over. Isn't it? And I think I don't WanNa. Put words in your mouth David. That's probably what made you miss it because what we've just watched so sums up so many of the things that we love about tennis I would say that's true. I also think it's it really does encapsulate the the Wimbledon that I knew as a kid, and as a teenager before Tim Henman came along when British though there was a big gap where? I had not known British contenders for the title. In on the women's side in before my time to be non-journalist Virginia, Wade and Sue Barker, won the French Open, but would never really perform to that level at Wimbledon. So, Strapped my formative years following the sport, Jeremy Bates had a good run in ninety two got to the second week had match points didn't manage to tighten them against gay full Jay. And there were a lot of those sort of moments. There are a lot of single standout moments of a player. Would make them. National News as back page. front-page news even plays like Andrew Castle. You got to eighty in the world that had a match against mats. Wilander that back then was hyping him to to a level. The even he didn't think was was appropriate. Time member in in the Post match press conference that that he did he. He guys this great line. After losing the final against Philander, he was two. It's one up for landing world number, one, nine, thousand, nine, hundred sixty, says he said. Let's just take it easy here I. Mean I lost and. That's that says a lot. Ready I think you know he. He was realistic enough to know and I remember Chris Bailey in nineteen ninety-three. Playing Goran Ivanisevic and the whole nation just stopped, it was nine seven in the fifth set twenty tonight night, the whole nation, stopping for about four hours just to watch this moments, and and he became a national celebrity in a single day. People had I mean it's way more than what Heather Watson inexperienced here in terms of going from somebody nobody had ever heard of Watson was on the map to some degree. This took it to another level question, but Bailey was an complete unknown and then suddenly. I remembering, going on BBC grandstand the next day with death Lynam the presenter who? Asking about his life and said, what did you go friend thinkable list and he said. I'm. GonNa go. I haven't got a girlfriend. And then suddenly the BBC was just inundated with letters from people offering their services his girlfriend. Services! Okay maybe that wasn't quite. Home. He told me he told me because he covered the Australian. Open with us for BBC radio for number years, and he told me that that night he went into Wimbledon village walked into a restaurant with a friend of his and the entire. Pub and restaurant just stopped what it was doing and turned around and just stead at him. and. He'd never experienced anything like like not at all until. Four ask before he'd never been heard of by so many people.

It's the second most popular procedure in all of cosmetic surgery, following of course, boats hawks which is formerly called botulinum toxin Boateng's is actually just one of four different brands of that Botula Lynam toxin and the wrinkle fillers while there's lots of them. Now, there's juvenile and a whole family of juvenile in products and wrestling and their products and Belo tarot and a whole bunch of others that will maybe talk about tonight. But hopefully, you'll ask me a question about them eight hundred three to one zero seven ten we're also going to talk about I don't might be the concept of the mommy makeover. That is so many plastic surgeons talk about that. But I'm gonna tell you why I don't think the mommy makeover is a good idea at least not a good idea to do in one procedure. And I stand maybe not quite alone. Certainly in a minority of plastic surgeons because so many plastic surgeons would love to do the, mommy makeover. Because it's a big day in the operating for everybody. But I believe in safety. I, and I don't think that a a long procedure that combines a tummy tack with a breast augmentation or breast lift is uniformly safe. You know, I think separately they're just fine. And we can we can do these in two different procedures. But that's what the mommy makeover is. And and people talk about that. But I'll tell you why later in the show why think it's not the best idea to have a mommy makeover at least in one day. All right.
