You've had guys that run along the top of port-a-potties.
I guess that's quite an Australian thing at B&S balls, but they do that as well.
But now I've matured and I stay in the grandstand.
And when I watch the race, Gerard, this is the crazy part.
I actually stand on the mud of the track.
I stand on the soil and watch the Kentucky Derby, which is crazy that you โ
You feel like you can reach out and touch the horses that's running past you with about, you know, 50 yards to go.
So, yeah, incredible event.
Well, Renegade is the favourite.
That came out and won the Arkansas Derby.
It did everything to suggest that it's going to run the 2,000 metres and have that very famous sweeping run.
It's going to come from probably the last third of the field.
But the problem is it came out and got barrier number one, and historically one has been a terrible barrier because...
Out of the gates, they run it like the golden slipper in that first 20 yards.
It's mayhem.
It's like they come out and guys want a position.
The jockeys want a position very quickly, and they're cleaning people up.
You've seen about two years ago, if you're in one to four, you're cleaned up by the horse in barrier five, just knock them all out, and they didn't stand a chance.
That sort of led the fact that Renegade won't be a short price.
I like a horse called Fervor Ado by the trainer Brad Cox.
