We're in Atlantic City. We're at the Borgata. We're at the old home stand. Just go, even my son told me. Send him to the leave. Come on. Oh, this was money in the bank. Who do you better wonder in shape? Take them on, Rudy. Let's go. Let's go! Who do you open up up? Open up up! Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay! We were in Kentucky. We were at Monmouth. Big fam, he deserves it. He fights every day. And we did it! Far from the back, be the man! All right, we're back. We're back from St. Bar. It's a second time recording. First time didn't come out so great. Dad, how are you feeling? We got some good weather last couple of years. It was excellent. The weather's been excellent. Nice latte. All right. A fuchsia. Say hello to our viewers. Bonjour, everyone. It gave me some time because when we did the podcast the other day, and we were taping, I didn't really know the full amount of the entries. And so I watched it. And I happened to think it was so wonderful that all of the shakes involved took partnerships in some of these horses. But it's interesting to one banishing that's running. I'm not sure what they paid for it because it doesn't say. But if you look at, and they did the entries, the she was up there when they picked the number with the trainer's son, who was there taking pictures. You didn't see Roman. No. You didn't see David Jacobs. Well, Roman sent us a picture from the crowd. So I'm rude. I'm rooting for that. But I thought it was interesting. So I did my homework and I basically recapped the race. You know, this type of race, basically, it's an international group chat for 20 million. You got a group of 20 horse, 15 horses in the race. Well, let's go through each horse. Very simple. Sunrise, Zappa, Newton. I can't even pronounce the name. Looks like one of the tables or a dish at Nobu. I mean, I mean, the horse is on the real has no chance whatsoever. Then you got now you got this horse. Any of the pronounces hakeke sounds like a luxury hotel. Okay. The source says no chance whatsoever. Now, I want banishing to win. But if banishing beats this field, all of these horses should be in claimers after that. Okay, after that should be after a married. Alzalum. It's a royalty horse. I don't know too much about it. Star of wonder. No, now we took forever. Everybody's dream horse. Gramps would love this horse. He'd have nothing to complain about whatsoever. He wouldn't care how much it would cost the fly to horse there. This is a horse that won the breeders cup. He's won all these big, big races. So you got to you got to put your money up forever. But we'll put them on the thing. Nevada Beach sounds like a Vegas bachelor party. This horse shouldn't be running in its natural races. Now, this one, tumbo rumbo. Nobody wants to bet the horse by that name. Okay. Now, bishops day, I like happen to like as well. The the sheikh's boarded to this horse as well. Junior came to ride the horse. You know, Junior wanted to bring his family. They said they cannot. You cannot bring people there unless they're invited. So only Junior was allowed to go. I'm hoping he's going to win. But normally if he can't bring his wife, he can't win the big races. I'm not sure if his agent's going to be there or what, but I'm rooting for him. Luxor Cafe is one of those international frequent flyers that had zero chance whatsoever. Nice host is the mystery. Left here. He left his family. The kids are off there in school. He just disappeared. He went to Saudi Arabia because Bafford told him to go to Saudi Arabia. They sent this nice host here. They think nice host has a shot in the race. The last two horses skipped a rattling roll 11 spot. Okay. Rattling rolls like one of those like lunch pale. Like you bring to the to the what the beach. Like it always comes. Like rattle and roll just always shows up somewhere has no chance whatsoever. So my pick for the races. I'm going to go exact the box. I'm going banishing forever young. Nice. What did that. That was much better. My first. Yeah, that's what you were very prepared much better than the first go. I mean, I don't need to go through every horse after you did a ball talk about a couple. I'm rooting for banishing. I think the sources of chance will probably be 50 or 60 or one. But I'm definitely rooting for badishing. But my pick. This was my pick during the Kentucky Derby didn't run so well. Luxor Cafe. They brought that scene dope. Jockey to ride them again. I think he has a shot forever young as the best horse. And I think six is a good post for the field of 14. But I'm going to go Luxor Cafe and I'm going to go a win place show on unbattishing. But should be a good race. I don't look at the other race. Luxor Cafe reminds me of like an espresso when you go get an espresso at the end of the night. Luxor Cafe named that horse as an espresso shop. Yeah, you know what? He won the he won the breeders cup. Luxor Cafe. I went racing Luxor Cafe and Kentucky Derby correct. You know, but he was my pick in the Derby. You are picking the Derby. He stuck that day. But today's going to be a day I think he needed a couple of races. Okay, good. So we got our sority cup picks. So let's move on. I said you knew on about 15 minutes ago. We're going to go through the dunk contest in the three point contest. I wish the Jordaners here to walk around a fucking moat on his face because we did the podcast without him. And besides not the show again. So we're still going to do it without him. I can go first on this. There are four rookies in the dunk contest. Sorry, not rookies. Four younger guys and I don't know if you notice one of them. Jace Richardson, what the Michigan state. He's going to have to be my pick, but I'm going to tell you something about him. He's about 5/11. I'm not sure I've ever seen him dunking my life. I'm shocked. He's in it. But he's going to have to be my pick. The other three guys are also with a ball. That's this might be the worst dunk contest group I've ever seen. Did you agree looking at that? So I reviewed the dunk contest. This reminds me of like a maiden 30 claim or Ed Saratol. It's even worse. Yeah, it's even worse than that. So you got caught or Brian from the spurs. He's a rookie. And no too much about him. You got Kishi Johnson, place for the heat. Very athletic, extremely athletic. You got Jackson Hayes, the Lakers. He's one of those high fly, nut job dunk monsters that juices up the crowd. His Richardson from the magic is a young sleeper. Now the reality is most people have to Google who these people are because they've never heard of them. Correct. Correct me if I'm wrong. 100% correct. So basically, you know, most people don't follow the spurs and the magic. They don't follow them. When you hear the word Lakers, people follow it. So I like Jackson Hayes. He's got the power, the size, the crowd energy, the big dunks. He's going to turn this claiming race into maybe a grade three dunk. Three dunk contest. He ain't got a great tool in one. This is one of the worst dunk contest you'll ever see. And this is something that the sharps would pick. I don't know what did you see where the favor was. I promise you there's going to be line moving on whatever. I don't even think they would take this is like G leak. This is real. They always do. They always take it. Same thing with the three point contest. You're going to see movement on this. The sharps are going to pick someone. You're going to see movement like you never see. But my pick is Jason. You've dad's pick. So let's go to the three point contest. I don't know if you know something very interesting about this. So obviously it's a call to good field. But there's a guy in there that's out for the season. Damien Lillard. Rip the killies out for the season. He's in the three point contest. Two time champ. He pulls from the park and lie. If he heats up over. But he is no lack. He's no foot. Don't matter. What if you rip it again? He can rip it. He still gets paid. All right. I'm going con. Can you pull the rookie out of Duke? No, I think. Anyone can really win the besides Bobby Portis or Stinks. So I'm going him. It would be my pick if he wasn't playing hurt. So let me get you want. Can I go through all I would like to pick with you? I go through the field. I like when you go through. You like when I go through the field. You go. Okay. So who is your pick? Con Caniple. Charlottes. That is my upset pick. A con opal. Rookie Shocker. Right out of the box. But I do happen to love. Damien Lillard to win. But let me give you. My thoughts on the rest of the field. Portis has no chance. He couldn't even. The only chance he has to win is a bar fight. Okay. Has no chance to win in a three point contest. Now, if Mitchell heats up like the NBA jam game. That's the only way he's going to win. He could hit like every shot in the road. He's that type of shooter. Murray is a game seven shooter. This is not a game seven. He's going after the shoot some balls up in the air. Maxie. Problem is he. He shoots him up too fast. Nobody could throw balls at that speed. So many of. Now, Devin Booker. Shows up. That's it. You never makes it to the end. That's why he's never won a championship. So I got the. Here's my exact. The box. I got Lillard. And I got. Cano. Con Cano. Behind. This ain't a three point contest. It's eight guys trying to prove. That they could play basketball. At the end. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. All right. We'll see it as well. We have a good Saturday. Here's the scoop. Literally. Show your listening to the horse whisperer podcast and get a free scoop of ice cream or a beverage on us. Build a brand's after dark. Our good times and great stories meet. So you had some follow-up Twitter a couple days ago. How do you do your better? I happen to think actually a flat job where people either hide behind what takes day or they say what they feel and a lot of the people in racing book and some of the people racing don't someone called me clueless last week on Twitter you know when you tell me I'm clueless about this industry it doesn't make any sense. So I may be clueless about the jockey club and don't really know too much about it. But I have so much respect for the people that are on the board. You know, because according to the report that I read yesterday that this gentleman is suing the whole board. So I read the names on the board. Happened to people at that. So I don't know if he's going to be able to sue a dead person. But he wants to go after the biggest owners in racing. And it just doesn't make sense. And it's the man that's a lot of money into the game. I understand is a little frustrated everything. But what I still to this moment don't understand. If the jockey club answered his questions or if he was on the jockey club or on the jockey club, what would it change in racing if he ran? Let's say he was the commissioner or the president of the president. What would change that is not going on now? I don't think anything could change. I believe in my honest take. So it's like when Trump lost to Biden and he tried to say this happened. They fucked be here. They fucked be there. They didn't let him in this club. Whatever the reason is they didn't let him and they're not going to let him. So he has no choice but to have a job. It's him in a Goldberg from a Vity ducks. There's no one else in it. You think you have to be hasty going to the group. You have to have followed occasions. He opens his mouth a lot. He opens his mouth. But some of the stuff that some of the stuff. But for the most these main point is correct. That's something. But the way you're doing he sounds like a moron. One of the things they talked about was the whole club. So I took everything out of the club. I don't understand one thing. He didn't talk about one thing which right now is the most important thing that's going on is the manipulation of the racing rules with the C-A-W. He doesn't so why doesn't he talk about a C-A-W? You know why? He doesn't talk about it. No. Correct. You know, a lot of people can talk about it. You know why? Because you don't bet. If you don't bet, you won't. All right. Okay. You're right there. But he doesn't really understand. He's foolish about a C-A-W. He's foolish about the C-A-W. Well, I also think he's foolish about the bull crop. The way he's piloted the short field to two places. San Anita all year. And then the winter and aqueduct. Correct. Those are places with small fields. The full crop. What he's explaining is that how many babies were born. Would you would have declined over the year. But they accelerated. Do you know why? Okay. You're right. They are going to be in the year. It's going to be in the year. 2020. 2020. Let's do the crop one up. Let's say what up? You're going to have to see an exact crop that I just thought. Yeah. Don't want to ride the horse. If you have a good horse, you're not riding the winter to aqueducts. No. And if you have a good horse, you're not going to say Anita. It gets back for gets a perfect second third. It's time. It's two separate issues. I. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I think he needs to list out every problem he has in the worst reason without saying I'm going to see you. So first problem. Full crop. Second problem. No one rides an aqueduct just really right out every problem. Then you go through it. The worst part he doesn't talk about is when they auction the horse sauce. So like McCulloch six million. Right. That's a scam. Like I was like that. Don't make any sense. So when he wrote it. He said, I think he's a bad guy. Like, you know, who just bump it it up. I think he's school is about a valuation. No, he's definitely close about it. But in his thinking, he goes, one call himself for six million. Why is a chop chop worth three? That other horse he bought hasn't won a race. No, he those two voices didn't win. And then he claims to worth three million. And I'm foolish. That's hard to make. I tried to fair why he got some mad because he kept responding to you. Yeah, you know, he said he said he's a midi. He had a his horse to stick. Those are the two mean things he said to him. I didn't say his horse to stick. He won't force take race. So don't talk with the chop chop and the other one. Oh, yeah, those two. Yeah. Right. He won't force. I don't know why he was at tap. I just at the end of the day. We'll end it up this because we can't give this back too much time on the thing. He's a fucking dope. He's pull this. And you know what? If you want to go ahead with me or have to tell him what he's told us about. And maybe we'll teach each other and we'll not become. You know what I'm saying? But be under the day. You know, when you win a breeder's cup, when you would 10 grade one, sort of you win the Belmont State. So the Derivier is about to jog the club. Here's about to write W's. You think when we're running down to the winner's circle, we're worried about how much the C.A.W is better with the jog the club is thinking about you're right. Okay, so Nana can't wait to order the trophy. She just can't wait. She's got a trophy route. You think this guy's got a trophy room for his trophies? Yeah, I think this. He needs another house then. Yeah, he writes. If you have a museum of trophies and winners and everything, why would you still all the people you like to see? I told you what the reason was. They won't let him in. Okay, so let's let's just one more part of this to compare. I guess you're he basically pays the players at St. John's correct. Correct. It's close and I.L. Yeah, correct. Okay, so if they lose every game on purpose, he'd sue them. With his thinking, yes, probably the way you think the 100th sector is. Okay, is it a possibility? That he could one vote to St. John's University, you know, an old guide. I'll give you a better way to happen. That part of your correct. Let's see. You know, it's he got trouble. He got to spend the hours with the you know, I'm talking about it. Let's say it to the same thing at St. John's or dad, reportedly, no, he got suspended now and got suspended. He'd sue him. You get all the money back, though. All of them and I L money. Yes, let's see. You know, you know, black and the three best players got what all cousins, you know, and they're out. They got no chance that also they can also suspend the school to not make the torn red, even if they go 30, you know, that happens, too. But they should have a lot. What a bad right. And John's played a savior. They were favored by 17 points. And this was going on during the Twitter rant back and forth. So I wasn't sure if he was at the game or not. If you I'm looking at the statistical data because they will lose it. St. John goes to the game until I think they went over. Yeah, they wanted to overcome. Okay, one in over. The reality is a good favor by 17. It's going to be so it's basically I looked at everything. So it is one guy that turned for all over the flight in one quarter and missed nine free throws. Definitely would hold to Mr. Free throw when the game and come spread. So if he would if he if he let's say that happened and came out that I'm sure who would he go after go after the school. But the kid did it on his own. No, you have just school to get the money back. He'd think he goes after the school. Oh, yeah, if anything happened anything that I just said you go out to school. So you wait you're saying is health right and anyone? If he doesn't get what he wants, he could be going to be the right idea is going to be right. But he's meant they won't let him into the job. Okay, so now they let him. Yeah, then what happened nothing he'll be proven wrong. He will look like the biggest dope if they let him in because he won't change anything. He walks out the guy for gold. They think they're going to do something yet. So tell me about this guy walks around with the equal gold. Well, this is I'm going to give him my take on it. So this is imagine you pay the guy six figures to be in yes. So he followed you. He had up your ass. Whatever you said I want to do this. He just said yes. You got Mr. Goldberg. He's going to give you the answer. He can't answer the question. He will direct talks about for four hours on the planet. Just see it up. That's all we talked about. He would be gold brick out gold brick out gold. So he does refer to Goldberg Goldberg time. He has no choice. He has any other voices that that'll just say whatever he wants. So he has meat riders. Goldberg's meat rider brings a paid meat rock. Like if he's not paid to Goldberg, he might come out and go get some. But he always says, he's going to be a good guy. He's going to be a good guy. Goldberg. He might come out and go get some. But he also has that big line backer that gets the voices for him. I'm dead. He's got this guy. He's six foot. Like he holds up his thing when they're betting. No, he finds the voices. All those guys are shafts every single one of them is a shaft. He would say I'm overpaying for every single course because they're not being shafted by all these people. He's would actually know the more I think I think he's bad when you start using the word shaft. I'm going to tell you why this he can't verify if he doesn't. That feels big shaft. And reality. I don't care. So chef's need to be terrified. Right. That would be a better answer. But he didn't say that. Well, I think that one of the things, you know, work wants about the Jackie club. And then we talked about this the other day. And we want to be about the name. He basically the people that work. Is being called to be right. The me rises at an immense or all chef in him. Because at the end of the day. He out in the not know what's going on with any of his horses. As far as except if you're running or not. running or where to be or if you visit them once and twice a year because at the end of the day, it's a business time. The dollar is a sensible way back up for it, but he's being shift. He's kept with by he's shifted by your all the all the blood stock agents. He's shifted by anybody to look at his horse. They're fine and do anything to them. So we've shifted in a way that that's a shift in him. The other problem being you get in the song, when you just want me to say, would you ask me a bad idea night until you know stupid idea, right? All these people, they don't ever say that to them. It's always yes. So when him and Goldberg, the goalie, they were I don't know if you ever read it. They tried to come up with this plan to raise more money and they were heist in the jockey club. They were going to put it for a sentence. Here we're going to pop this up. It's like when Bob Donney was running, said the buses are going to be free. The supermarkets are going to re-free. You can say whatever the fuck you want, but it's going to be the same. It's going to work. So if they let this guy and they said we're going to implement this and it doesn't work, it's going to look like a tofu. Correct. And the reality. And he also, he has no time. When he wrote, he goes, I'm working on this. I got no time for this. So what the fuck is he ready to get? What about he's got no time? I want him to do one thing and I want him to do one thing only. I want him to sentipney or I want him to review all of his vent bills, all of his training bills, all of his vent bills, all of the 150 horses he has on a farm with bone bruises because they get work too hard in the morning. I can go on and go. And that man has got it's not shafted. He got super shafted. He's been super shafted so much that he's so frustrating. He knows he got shafted. He doesn't want to tell people his eye got shafted. I got shafted. Okay, whether it's adequate, alley vans, whoever it may be, you got shafted. What's the guy that does? You've got more. You've got shafted. Guarantee sent me the paperwork, the vent bills, the training bills, the every horse you boarded to sail, every single invoice that you paid, you got shafted. Guarantee if we saw all those people back, we could have collected more money from them than the Jackie Club and you'll clean this game right up. He's better off sending King Kong bonding to veterans because the guy doesn't do anything. That guy's a great job. Who's King Kong but the gold bird? Whatever you go. He's got the greatest job in the world. He really does. He's got to do some repolley. Yes. And he talks to Arizona. He talks here. I'll call it back up here. Do you think that you know, I'm still on Goldberg. I'm still on Goldberg. I wonder where he found this guy. Before he was repolley's a bass eater, did you know where he came from? I think he worked for somewhere in the horse racing. I've been saying you guys from around the long time have you ever seen Goldberg walking around the side of those? No, I don't even know who he was. Right. That's where I just I really had no idea who he was. The only thing close to his name was an attorney at two thousand, two named Anthony Cummings. So to me at that point, I didn't really when he said Cummings, I told him it was the lawyer I did. This is the only thing I'm to say about him because you'll probably make me take it. Have you ever seen Big Momma's house with Martin Lawrence? Where he addresses up it's the woman. That's what he looks like. He looks like Big Momma. So it's a full of your Big Momma's house. Go to take on the shot and club will see whatever's happening. But he got you. We're in a landing city. We're at the old homestead. Just go. Even my son told me. Send him to the lead. Come on. Who do you better wonder and shake? Take him on, who do you like? Let's go. Let's go. Do it. Open up. Open up. Big. Big. Big. We were in a concussion. We were at Monmouth. Big family deserves any fights every day. They were here and we did it.
