00:00Well Campanile is one of those rare horses who has answered the bell at Royal Ascot three
00:22seasons in a row.
00:24To think that you've won races in Royal Ascot in back-to-back years and then finished on
00:30the board in the third year like she did this year in 2022 is remarkable.
00:35Campanile is absolutely beautiful.
00:37She's very pretty, rangy, tall.
00:41She just carries herself very well.
00:44She has a sense of dignity.
00:46She's a diva.
00:49She's really something.
00:50It's hard not to like a filly that has accomplished what she has, but to be around her, you know
00:58how special she is.
01:00I think her most impressive race was the Commonwealth where she was really sort of forced out.
01:08She almost became a dressage horse.
01:11She was moving so far sideways, but she fought on to the finish.
01:16And as it turned out, she was put up on top.
01:19The thing about this filly is she runs on any track, on any surface as far as condition.
01:31Every time you lead her over, she tries so hard.
01:34She ran a great race down at Kentucky Downs where she won a million dollar sprint at Kentucky
01:39Downs, which will lead into the Breeders' Cup here.
01:42Just been a joy to be around with no issues and fortunate for Barbara and our team that
01:48we've had such a great ride.
01:49So we are a very hands-on, detail-oriented breeding operation here in Kentucky.
01:57And I feel that Campanelle deserves that treatment when she becomes a broodmare.
02:04I don't think I could necessarily give her the oversight, the focus, and the care if
02:09she was somewhere else that I could if she was here in Kentucky.
02:15And I think she really needs to go to some elite turf sires.
02:20That's why we decided, and it was a difficult decision, that we would offer her for sale.
02:26She will become a queen of someone's breeding operation if she goes somewhere where the
02:34great turf sires are.
02:36And someday we'll have them here in America as well.
02:39But for her at this point in life, I think it's the best thing.
02:43She's got all the ingredients to become a successful producer.
02:46She's got, obviously, the race record.
02:49She's got the looks.
02:50I mean, I think that's the one thing that I think people will be really impressed with
02:54when they come see her in person, come see her on the sales grounds.
02:57She's the complete package.
02:58Looks, pedigree, race record, consistency, durability, performance.
03:02She's got the speed that really naturally is going to attract buyers everywhere.
03:08When she goes in the ring, I'll have mixed emotions.
03:11I'll be proud of what she and our team accomplished with her.
03:15I believe she's going to go on next year to wherever she goes or whatever hands she lies
03:21in, hopefully they're ours, but that she's going to have a real big next year.
03:25She's just peaking right now because she's a big filly, a big frame filly.
03:28She thrives and the Breeders' Cup's coming up and just perfect timing from the last race
03:33to this one.
03:34So I'm sure she's going to run probably the race of her life.
03:40She's coming into the race.
03:42Every workout is better than the next, so hopefully whoever hands she lies in, she comes
03:48back to this tobacco barn here.
03:50I'm feeling pretty confident in the Breeders' Cup and the people in the barn are feeling
03:56pretty confident in her as well.
03:58She has some good competition in the race, but she's a fighter and so I think my money's
04:04on her.
04:10I think my money's on her.
