Does that exist or not exist?
24:51
It does in some ways, I guess you could say.
24:55
I think they'd like you to drive the horse you train, but...
24:59
Yeah, often, you know, like with me, my argument always is that, you know, I'm a finance driver first and foremost and the training side of things is just something I've only recently gone into and really only doing it because obviously seeing as getting towards the end of his career.
25:17
So it might be something I have to look into in the future and I pay for my trainer's license every year.
25:23
So I might as well start somewhere, you know, But, yeah, I can't afford to be really driving horses that I have in my name that are, you know, no real chances of winning or not realistic chances of winning a race when I'm, you know, and potentially jumping off favourites and things like that.
25:41
So, yeah, I'm not sure.

12:49
yeah.
12:50
Yeah, I think it was Riptide out wide that might have crossed him.
12:56
I felt like if it was the be-all and end-all, I could have held him if I wanted to, but I figured that Riptide was probably going to let us go anyway, so I sort of elected to just come out as hard as I had done and then let him get across and I think take the front back off him.
13:11
But, yeah, the gate speed – other than that we've yeah we've never really had to show any but i'm pretty confident it's there um or very confident actually based off of what he was flocking the heat and he always goes up to the gate wanting to come out um but he's such a such sort of a professional already as soon as soon as the gate goes back and i don't ask him he just knows to to sort of drop the bit and relax so yeah um I guess sometimes one can be a concern if you've never asked a horse to come out.
13:43
But yeah, as I said, I did that one time and he seemed to have plenty there.

Fairly even field with the draw.
19:25
Yeah, it's a funny sort of a race to look at on paper.
19:29
Yeah, it's hard to sort of work out what happens early.
29:11
Hmm.
29:11
That it is just part of the conversation.
29:13
It's part of the broadcasting conversations that are held.
29:17
It's how legacy events are measured.
29:19
It's indisputable that sports betting enhances the fan experience by every measure.
29:25
It grows the audience by every measure.
29:28
So right now, it, this is, you referenced it at the beginning of the, the podcast.
