00:07We couldn't be more excited about Jackie's Warrior and the start he's off to. The first
00:12time I got to really lay eyes on him was up at Saratoga, and I was like, yeah, that's what
00:16a
00:16beast looks like. I mean, he has just got the bone, he's got the substance, and he's got the body.
00:21With him, it was just, he had that incredible engine, you know, just in the determination.
00:27The race against life is good. It was an absolute epic race. He wins five grade ones. He's the only
00:34horse at Saratoga to ever win a grade one at two, three, and four, and I just think out of
00:39that what
00:39made him so good is just his determination to win and be able to beat the best sprinters that were
00:45out there in the country. And Jackie's Warrior remains undefeated here at Saratoga, and he wins
00:52an unprecedented grade one stakes at the Spa for the third straight season.
00:57So this is going to be Jackie's first crop to the races, and already as we sit here today,
01:02he's got nine winners, and we just feel like the pipeline is full of a lot more to come and
01:07a lot
01:08of stakes horses out there. Wood Island the other day was so dominant. I mean, it gives you thoughts
01:13of the Breeders' Cup and, you know, what this horse could go do. I went to dinner with George Weaver
01:18when we were up for the sale, and I said, what's the deal on your Jackie? I mean, you just
01:24beat him
01:24on the dirt. Now you're going to run him back on the grass. And he goes, Mark, listen, you wait
01:29a lot
01:29of running on the turf. And he said, you're going to see something, you know, unbelievable.
01:35Wood Island broke on top and was never in doubt. Three-length beatdown. So the first time
01:43Virad Hadrasana ran. She just got away so bad. Of course, she comes back and we wind up getting
01:49a Jackie's Warrior Xacta that day. You watch her first race and you go back and watch what she did
01:55in her second start, the professionalism she showed from one start to the next. You got to think this
02:01filly's got a big chance to be a black-top stakes horse. So Fast Amy just, she was that. She
02:07left the
02:07gate at Ellis flying and, you know, horse won impressive, went to the front, got challenged around the turn,
02:13shook them off, and then went on to get her picture taken. And so now, off of that wind,
02:18you know, they're going to take a shot. They're going to go out to Del Mar. They're going to take
02:21on the grade one fillies out there and just see what they got. Let them know was an exciting,
02:28very thrilling finish. To go a mile on the 16th up at Saratoga, two turns on the grass, sat the
02:35trip,
02:35and then fought through the lane to get her head down on the wire. You know, it just gives you
02:39such a big
02:40future with that one as well. And so, you know, they're running on all the surfaces. We're getting
02:44dirt winners, turf winners, synthetic winners, nine winners so far, and hopefully we'll rack up a few
02:50more this week. But Jackie's doing anything and everything we expected him to do, and that's going
02:54to be a top-level sire. The thing that we really did with Jackie from the beginning is, is that
03:00his
03:00first group of mares were, most all of them were black-type mares or black-type producers. He got just
03:07an
03:07outstanding group. We had so many requests. I mean, we had four or five hundred requests for seasons.
03:12Jackie averaged 216,000 with that first group. He had one go through and bring a million three,
03:18and he's really passing on his substance. They look like really durable horses. There's so many
03:25horses in the pipeline for Jackie we haven't seen yet. We just think this could be just the
03:30beginning of what you guys are going to see going into the fall.
