  Speaker 1: Then we go, of course at the end to Belmont

• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in the middle we are going to be running the Preakness.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's going to be raining Tomorto at Pimlico. What does
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that mean for Nyquist? N Iquist won the Kentucky Derby
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and now a lot of people are wondering if this
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: undefeated horse could win in this second leg of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Triple Crown and go on to win that coveted title.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Joining us now as Peter Rotundo Jr. Vice President of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Media Media Entertainment at the Breeders Cup and Bloomberg racing
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: enthusiast Gary Adall. So, Peter, let's start with you Nyquist.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: What kind of chance does this horse have to win
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the Preakness. Well, he'll be odds on favorite. Um, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he's beaten, he's never lost his his main competitor, Exaggerator,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: he's beaten four times already. The distance is shorter than
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it was in the Kentucky Derby. The horses that will
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: be chasing him, well, he'll be chasing in front of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: him aren't very good. So I would say it's pretty
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: much he's got a tremendous shot. Peter. What will the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: weather mean for the horses racing on Saturday? Well, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: mean the horses don't mind it when it rains. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: mean it's a wet track, you know, is fine. Last year,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: if you remember American Pharaoh one in a slot, it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: was a downpour of rain and he went wire to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: wire right to the lead. You know, some horses of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: bread for it, right. You know, there's that old saying
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the mudd is a mutter, but you know the mother
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and mother. But the bottom line there is I just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: think that, um, it won't really affect the race too much.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Some horses will like it a little more, something a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: little less. But I think it's I think it'll be fine.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna They said it's gonna rain, but it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: not gonna be pouring pouring down all day. So theater,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: how you doing? What's going on? Hello? That happy creak
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this Seve? Thank you? Okay, So we have a hundred
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and forty first running of the Creak the stakes. Last
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: year American Fararoh did something that no horse has done
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for thirty seven years. What's the odds of of this
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: night Quist going on and doing and duplicating this feed again? Well,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I mean again, you look at the Kentucky Derby night
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Quist ran two seconds faster than American Faraoh did last year.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And if you know in horse racing, up fifth of
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a second is a lynx, so you know that's almost
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: eight lengths faster than American Farao. Now, the track on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Derby Day was pretty fast. You know a lot of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fast times were happening throughout the day, so you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you can't really make that comparison. But the bottom line
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is I think the three year old last year that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: American Farao run against much better than they are this year.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So I think Nikewist has a huge shot um tomorrow.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And again I normally don't like to pick favorites ever,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but like I did with American Farall last year, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: just don't see. I just don't see a scenario how
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he gets beat Well, Peter, Uh, this is a money,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a business, a finance network. How can I make money?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, if Nick was is gonna be the favorite favorite,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna make a lot of money betting on Niquist.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So what kind of strategy could I use with all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the various betting techniques to actually make some money. Well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that's the came right, that's why we're doing this. Um.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The idea is the what they call exotic bets. Right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So instead of just betting to wind or a place
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sort the show, you could do something like I call
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the super fecta where you have to pick the order
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of finish the first, second, third, and fourth horses in order.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Hard to do, right, but if you do it, you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: gonna get paid pretty well. So that's the way I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: gonna approach the race where I take Niquist, I put
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: him in the first position, and then I try to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I use a couple of long shots in the second
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and third and fourth position to try to to try
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to make pay out big. Um. So underneath I like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a horse named Uncle Leno. He's the number two. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna show some speed. I think he's getting better.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Whatever race, he had an equipment change and two races
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: ago took the blinkers off. You know. The blinkers are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like blinders, right to make them, you know focus. He
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: didn't like him that too much. They took them off him,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and he's been running better. I think he's gonna run big.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And I think number two, number ten Fellowship who ran
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: on Kentucky Derby Day, not in the Derby, but in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: another race. He has a new trainer who's getting him
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: back into form, and I think he's gonna come running
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: at the end. So if he used night Quist with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: those two long shots, the two and the ten, Uncle
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Leo and Fellowship, and then of course Exaggerator, who's the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: second choice who's finished four times he's run second to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: night Quist, put him in your super factor if not.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: If Exaggerated comes in third or fourth with those other two,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's gonna pay pretty well. You know, Peter, I'm getting
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a little worried because I agree with you. I agree
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with this. Wow, we're in trouble now, you know. You know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: as a member of the famous team Rotundo, let me
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ask you a question. When you guys disagree on something,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: who makes the final decision. Well, it depends what we're doing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: If we're betting together, um as like as as a team.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Ultimately depends on the day. If I'm feeling a little
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: feeling sorry for Dad, I might let him, may let
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: him make the final one. But usually I kind of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: take the reins if I'm involved, because you know, usually
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not always with them because I'm I'm actually you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I'm working and I'm running around, so um but we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: together also to make the final thing. I know already
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: we disagree on the Preakness, since I got a text
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: message from him saying we disagree. So it'll be an
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: interesting Saturday hanging out with those guys. Peter, if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: can just comment briefly on tournaments, handicapping tournaments and how
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that is changing horse racing. Yeah, it's just a new
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: way to play. I mean, it's been around you It's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: been around from a fifteen to twenty years or so,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: but it's really taking off, taken off lately, uh, with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: just an explosion. You know. There's there's a there's a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: tournament in Las Vegas called the National Handicapping Championship every year.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: First prize of the million dollars. We have one at
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the Breeders Cup Breeders Cup Betting Challenge and you can
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: win over half a million dollars. It's it's it's just
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a different way of playing the horses where you don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: have to bet like I just mentioned the Superfecta or
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: best like that. You could just sort of pick one
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: horse you like and if the horse runs well, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: get points and if they add as up, adds up.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's an easier way to get into the game, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of younger people are trying to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: catch it on because it's it's a more simple way.
• 7:36
