00:00And it's now time for First Things First. This week, I decided I would catch up with
00:06Hall of Famer Bob Baffert and Flavien Pratt right after Nysos' very impressive win in
00:12the Grade 3 Bob Lewis.
00:20Nysos takes the Grade 3 Bob Lewis here with Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. Six in a
00:24row and his 12th overall in this race. Flavien Pratt, you were aboard Nysos. I have to say,
00:30I was a little concerned in the post-break because he's just so relaxed.
00:34Yes, he's very relaxed, but a good mind, just a good mind.
00:38Tell us the acceleration he gave you coming down the lane because it looks like he pressed
00:42the button and he just took off.
00:44Yeah, exactly. The pace was pretty hot, so it was good. I gave him a chance and he took
00:48the dirt very well. And yeah, when I call on him, he responds really well.
00:52Thanks for your time. We'll let you go. Bob, six in a row, one, two this year, one, two,
00:57three, four last year. How good is Nysos?
01:00Well, I mean, it feels to be blessed to have horses like this, you know, year after year.
01:05And I have a great clientele that I have to put me in this position.
01:09And it's nice to see these horses that are trained well.
01:12They, you know, sometimes they'll fool you, but they both showed up today.
01:15All right, Bob, thanks for your time. Best of luck throughout the day.
01:18Nysos takes the Robert B.
01:20Lewis.
01:23Many thanks for Bob and Flavian, it looks like we'll find out where that horse is
01:28headed next, but do want to remind you, as the rain continues to fall here in
01:32Southern California, we will be back racing on Friday with a nine race card.
01:37Saturday, we'll have a 1230 post and an early post on Sunday, 11 a.m.
01:43for Super Bowl.
01:44We will have some rescheduled stakes from last week, the Las Virginas and the San
01:49Marcos. And of course, we will have the Palos Verdes on Saturday.
01:53Looks like big city lights will go forward as a favorite in there, but a good
01:58weekend of racing coming up at Santa Anita.
02:01And guys, who are you picking for Super Bowl?
02:03Which direction are we going?
02:06Kansas City, Kansas City, Chiefs, Chiefs for me as well.
02:12Yeah, I mean, a lot of respect, a lot of respect for the 49ers.
02:16But I think the Chiefs are, to me, this is Andy Reid's best coaching job yet.
02:20Yeah, absolutely.
