Almost exactly the same statistics with Bill Mott, the trainer of sovereignty. But it's primarily it's it's the problem here is it's it's performance based.

Yeah. I mean, you love horse racing. There's nothing bigger in sports in general than rivalries, right? And we used to see when the same horses that ran one, two, three in the derby come back and run in the Preakness and then come back sometimes and run in the Belmont.

Bet twice, same thing.
