00:00Tip Top Thomas has taken the lead.
00:09Rookie guard is brave and fighting and key weight and with big strides, here is the line.
00:16Tip Top Thomas won the photo.
00:19We always loved him.
00:20He just was, he was so balanced and so pretty and correct and he just floated.
00:26It was easy for him, always.
00:29When Tip Top Thomas came in, we'd reportedly been training very well in Ocala and he's
00:34a very straightforward, professional baby, caught on quickly at the gate.
00:39His initial breezes were very good.
00:41We kept him at Belmont until he had his final work here at Saratoga from the gate and we
00:46liked the way he did that.
00:47He broke sharply and so we felt like, you know, he was the kind that would run well
00:51in his debut and, you know, had good natural speed and so I was happy to see him.
00:57He broke alertly, put himself in a good position and fractions were pretty quick early on but
01:03he seemed like he was doing it well in hand and then put forth a good, determined finish
01:08and was kind of battling horses on each side of him and just did everything you'd hope
01:14to see one do in a debut.
01:16Here is the line, Tip Top Thomas.
01:20You always expect the Traverse Dave Maiden to potentially be, you know, one that could
01:25have a rising star in it, so that turned out to be the case this year and fortunately
01:30it was with him.
01:32I like the way he finished.
01:33I like the way he galloped out, so I would think, you know, possibly a race like the
01:37Champagne at a one-turn mile might suit him well.
01:40I think Volatil is looking like he's off to a great start.
01:44You know, what I'm optimistic about with our colt is I think he'll handle a route of grounds.
01:50We've only got a couple.
01:51That's the first one that we've run, but it looks like he's off to a very good start.
01:56The Volatiles are very good to deal with.
01:59They're very easy to be around.
02:00They're very smart.
02:02Beautiful horses.
02:03They have bone.
02:04They are correct.
02:05I just love them as a racehorse.
02:07He was so fast.
02:08I love the unbridled song on the bottom and, you know, I thought if he'd get that unbridled
02:13look with the violent speed, we're very happy, very happy with him.
