0:07.2

Catch up on episodes with Joe Buck, Joe Davis, Pat Hughes, and more, and learn along with me Matt Spiegel how the job is done.

0:13.6

It's not just home run Bryce Harper and the Philly's League to really do it justice.

0:18.6

You got to widen the lens. What does this home run mean?

0:21.7

The P.B.P. Voices of Baseball. I bring you the people who bring you the game, listen on the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:29.9

I'm going to start as I looked at the card. I'm going to start in race seven. It's a grade two, the eight bell stakes.

0:35.9

This will be about 209 in the afternoon, sprint on the dirt, and look, you're going to have a huge favorite here, and I just think we can try to take a swing and beat her.

0:48.2

Favorite's going to be the number nine money's gold. She's done absolutely nothing wrong. All she's done has come out and utterly destroy three fields, three for three lifetime.

0:59.9

Has shipped and won one at Monmouth, won a Gulfstream, won a Tampa. It's going to be a major step up today though. This is this is deep water.

1:08.9

And I always have a problem. If horses have been able to win a couple races in a row, it's very difficult to just keep that train rolling.

1:21.9

She's young. She's got a little bit less experience than some of these other horses, but look, she ran an absolutely monstrous figure last out.

1:31.9

I mean, she posted a 106 speed fig in your past performances. I just have a hard time believing that if you're new to the game, what I would tell you is it is very, very rare for a horse to have this linear growth pattern.

1:49.9

Where it's just, hey, I was good. Now I'm going to get better. Now I'm going to get even better. And reality is part of that reason. It's so hard to have that is you step up in class.

2:01.9

So this is a horse that obviously debut in a maiden special weight. She won by the damn near 15 links. Well, then they put her in a allowance race. The next level up. She goes out wins by seven links. I mean, she's smashing people. Then she goes stakes race wins by 17. I mean, it was an embarrassment.

2:18.9

This is the difference. This is a great at stakes. This is the difference going from triple A to the big leagues. I actually want to make a little bit of a play against.

2:29.9

And I want to do it with a horse where I feel like what's going to happen to the nine money's gold already happened to this horse. And it's the six red carpet ready.

2:43.9

And I do think you'll get paid for your opinion. You might get a little bit of an overlay here. Three to one on the morning line. So if you're new at horse racing, like think about it. Like if you bet on like the Celtics are tipping off right now.

2:56.9

If you bet on the Celtics, you're taking minus 110. I mean, if you bet on red carpet ready, you're getting plus 300 and then some red carpet ready.

3:07.9

This is what I like. I love, love, love horse for the course. I love this angle. I love a horse that has not only run and won at the distance, but done it at the very track. They're about to run on.

3:22.9

I also like that red carpet ready handled a fast track and a sloppy track. So if it rains, cool. I have nothing to worry about. I love the work pattern.

3:33.9

They put a bullet work into this horse. She's coming off a nice freshening last raged March 4th. She is primed for this. And what I like is debuted in the maiden special weight.

3:47.9

They go into a stakes race wins them both. Then they move her up to a grade three down at Gulfstream, fourth of February. She wins that.
