I'll tell you what, my biggest concern about journalism would actually benefit Sandman, okay? If the pace gets completely out of control, and we've seen that happen before in the Kentucky Derby. We saw it happen with Rich Strike in 2022. Then it favors horses that are actually – 16th, 17th, 18th. I think Rich Strike was 20th at one point early in the Kentucky Derby.

That happens a lot at the Kentucky Derby. My biggest concern is that journalism, who's written by a jockey named Umberto Rispoli, who actually statistically has been better on grass than he is on dirt, might get himself, might be positioned too close to a fast pace. That's my biggest concern about journalism. If the pace is fast, he needs to be 10 lengths off the pace.

Now, if that happens, Sandman's going to be rolling from the back of the pack. Sovereignty is going to be rolling from the back of the pack. So will Burnham Square, horses like that. It's going to favor them. But otherwise, I think if he's ridden properly, I think journalism's, you know, clearly, clearly the worst to be.

Honestly, I would ignore the weather. I really would. Only because of this. Horses nowadays, when they run in the Kentucky Derby, are so inexperienced. That none of them have really had, you know, any substantial experience running on that kind of a racetrack. So it's a crapshoot. You really don't know.

And they're all such good horses that typically they'll be able to handle situations like that anyway. So that's one variable that I wouldn't I wouldn't be losing sleep over.
