00:00In this week's edition of First Things First, drumroll please.
00:06Here we have Mr. Michael McCarthy.
00:08Michael McCarthy, a first win in the San Felipe here at Journalism, what does this moment
00:16mean to you right now?
00:17Yeah, obviously nice to have a horse on the Triple Crown Trail for connections that we've
00:22had a lot of success for and obviously some new people involved with the horse as well.
00:28You know, it's always great to have a horse, any type of horse, it's going to take you
00:33places and it looks like he's taking himself and everybody else with him.
00:39I was fairly confident today, I wouldn't say I was overconfident, but I thought he was
00:42doing well enough to go ahead and make some noise today and he certainly did.
00:48Little overwhelming, you know, kind of thinking of where this horse could go, but, yeah, good
00:54performance.
00:55Can I read into this that he wasn't 100% cranked and ready for this thing?
00:58He was certainly ready, but obviously with a horse with a reputation like Barnes, obviously
01:04you know how good he is, you always wonder if you're good enough and certainly today
01:09proved like he was.
01:10Michael, how's it to be back in this moment right now celebrating when, you know, you
01:14were so personally affected by things at the fires that we had out here earlier this year?
01:19Yeah, terrible deal for a lot of people.
01:24So we're fine, house is fine, a lot of people have lost everything, so it's all good.
01:33It's a little bit of an inconvenience, but yeah, a lot of people were thinking about
01:37today.
01:38Biggest congratulations to you.
01:39Thanks.
01:46I think maybe Randy might have got a few more words out of Michael McCarthy or maybe Michelle
01:51did post stakes wins.
01:54He wound up winning four on the day that Saturday at Santa Anita, truly a magical day for him
02:01and perhaps next week he'll win a few more.
02:03We do have racing Friday through Sunday next weekend, highlighted by the B. Wayne Hughes
02:09for Holden Mile.
02:10We'll be talking a little bit more about that later on.
