it's the genius that is Barry Faulkner.

0:27.3

You are welcome back to the show, Barry.

0:29.1

I don't know what is there after all that.

0:30.7

I mean, some people are easily fooled hemmits.

0:34.6

Not at all.

0:35.5

Absolute legend.

0:36.4

This man has made us fortunes over the years and hopefully in the final

future stars Friday night and that is the five forling breeders cup juvenile turf sprint to kick things off

where the favorite is going to be true love who's beaten the boys once of the four times she's taking them on. To be fair, she probably should have won the Phoenix stakes before picking up an injury very late in that race and Puerto Rico was in behind and he's unbeaten in three starts since and has won two group one. So there's a lot in her favor. Wayne Lorden will write her because he can do the weight on the night. Christoph Sumion isn't sure that he can.

1:29.6

And he needs the extra 24 hours to be certain he can do the 8 stone 7 for Mini Hawk on Saturday night as well. So no point in risking that and risking her being scratched. She's the 11 to 4, 3 to 1 favorite, a roundabout that price now with 1x bed. Then you've got a man who's won this race three times, Wesley Ward with Schwarzenegger. any puns can be allowed later on 6 to 1 7 to 1 is the price there

1:31.3

Havana, Anna, behind Trull of the last day, seven to one shot. And William Buick and Charlie Appleby won this race a couple years ago. They're now represented by military code. And the two eight and a brown second strings. Are there second strings? We shall find that in a little bit. Okay, Adam Mills, your thoughts on the Breeders' Cup juvenile turf sprints, sir?

1:48.2

Oh, isn't this a fun way to start? This is quite a tricky race. I mean, I think the best of the Europeans is definitely true love. I agree with that. If there were no other horses in the race and you ran it at Ascot, I'd be all over true love.

1:58.9

But I just, I don't know, Stall Nine just kind of put me off a little bit.

2:02.7

I think this is going me off a little bit.

2:02.7

I think this is going to be a bit messy. I'm kind of taking a view that there's a bit of value in some of these surf races because I think there's just this assumption that the form from the UK and Ireland is going to translate directly. It's a very different type of track. I'm also going to say that if Lennelieu had been drawn lower, I would have backed Lennelieu, but I just think Stahl 12 is a little bit tricky and she's not the biggest. It just put me off. So I'm going to make a statement here which is quite bold, but I don't like Frankie Datorre. I think he should have retired. But I'm going to get a Tory you the Tory to start my breeders' cup off because I like
