All right I -- -- you have to be prepared -- something. If you if you were it's clear that he's going to win the race. I've been. Throwing a few lines around it I thought would be appropriate in -- I'll land on something at some point that I I think is right and then hopefully it'll come out of my mouth correctly. But you know they have the other possibility. Where it might be incredibly close and then whatever happened happened and then. If you know he's been going to lose you probably gonna have to come -- something productive.

People like heroes you know and and I know is one of both work with the Suffolk downs -- was having dinner last night. Indeed that the reason I -- divorce rate it was because it's separate area. And you know when secretary on the Triple Crown in 1973. It it was such and such an incredible moment. For everyone and then you know he became an iconic figure it. And I think you brought so many racing fans out there and now I think it has -- another opportunity. Pardon upon another opportunity well I'll have been other. If he's able to win the Triple Crown -- -- -- May be runaway in the field in the belt on state. I think it you know he'll become. Such a popular figure in in the is in the world outside of course racing that it it will boost the sport for sure. How many people do you think will attend Belmont next week for that Triple Crown race what do you think.

In in and that's without because Churchill Downs for the derby they open the infield in Belmont is that they can do that that's.
