And I walked in and I had about 10 local police just swarming in.
And I said, oh, gee, sorry, guys, I've hit the wrong spot.
And I'd actually, I got to whiffing about 10 feet of Queen Elizabeth from Prince Philip.
So, you know, that was a great moment when Queen Elizabeth attended the Kentucky Derby.
Of course, another royal story for you, Gerard.
In 1974, Princess Margaret attended the Derby and she wanted to watch it from the pagoda.
And that's on the inside of the track.
And you'd know that at the end, it's where the winning owners all stand when they do the post-race interview and the horses on the grass.
But more notably, it's where the bugler comes out and plays every, you know, before every race.
And...
The Bugler never had a toilet until 1974.
The poor guy had to hold it.
But the Princess Margaret insisted she watch it from there.
So they built a toilet for her in there.
So there's a royal toilet where Princess Margaret was going before the 1974 Kentucky Derby.
So I've talked to the Bugler quite a bit over the years, and he's very proud that he gets to share that toilet with royalty.
Yes, very lucky that they picked it up.
There was a lot of fanfare around the Extreme Choice horses at the Sydney sales event.
So yeah, lucky enough to offload that.
What do they say?
