00:00Well, if you don't like cold battle, you don't like good stories and you don't like horse
00:03racing.
00:04I don't know if cold battle is this year's best three or only probably isn't.
00:08We'll find out down the road, but he's definitely the best story.
00:11That's the reason why Robbie Norman is our guest this week on the Gainesway guest of
00:16the week segment of the Thoroughbred Daily News Podcast.
00:19I've spoken to Lonnie, the trainer.
00:21And so, you know, it's going to be, you know, the Arkansas Derby or the Kentucky Derby as
00:28Lonnie has already answered on, you know, it's on social media.
00:33He's going to let cold battle tell us.
00:35So if cold battle is ready for the Arkansas Derby, we will point there.
00:39If he's not 100 percent there, we will wait and just go to the Kentucky Derby.
00:44Robbie Norman, our guest of the week, was brought to you by Gainesway.
00:47Bill here is always complaining about the abbreviated careers and the infrequent starts
00:51of today's racehorses, and rightfully so.
00:54The Gainesway stallion Raging Bull ran 22 times over four seasons, which nowadays qualifies
01:00as a robust career.
01:02Fifteen of those 22 were in grade ones.
01:04He won three of them, the Hollywood Derby, the Shoemaker Mile and the Maker's Mark Mile,
01:08placed in six others, earned one point seven million dollars.
01:11And he's by Dark Angel, a perennial leading sire of sprinters and mindlers in Europe.
01:16Here's a Gainesway alert you can watch later this year for Raging Bull's first crop, which
01:22are now two year olds.
01:24Gainesway power, passion, performance.
01:28Introducing a stallion as top class as they come.
01:33In 22 career starts, he won or placed in 12 graded stakes, competing in 15 grade ones,
01:40earning over one point seven million dollars.
01:44His undisputed speed is evidenced by seven 100 plus fire speed figures, a three time
01:53grade one winner, Raging Bull.
