Great White comes to say hello at his stall in the @PreaknessStakes Stakes Barn Wednesday morning. He was a late scratch in the Ky Derby after he reared up and fell behind the starting gate. The massive grey, who is 15-1 on the Preakness ML, is a friendly fellow.
Fight Club (1999) was filmed largely in chronological order. Edward Norton adopted a near-starvation diet and avoided the sun, while Brad Pitt trained and used tanning salons, so Tyler Durden grows stronger as the narrator withers.
Good bye @KentuckyDerby 5th place finisher Danon Bourbon! Headed back to Chicago to catch a flight back to Japan. Thank you for giving us a thrilling stretch run. You ran your heart out. The only one who could handle the pace and hang on. See you in Japan soon, I hope!
I sold Ocelli for 12k, yesterday he ran 3rd in the @KentuckyDerby & won 500k.
And gues what? I'm celebrating.
Because of what this means for everything we still have.
Ocelli's brothers just became a lot more valuable. His mom Zalia is now a queen.
The bloodline we've been building for years just got validated on the biggest stage in racing.
One horse running 3rd at @ChurchillDowns does more for your breeding program than a decade of "he has potential" conversations ever could.
But there's a bigger lesson here.
Everyone passed on Ocelli because he had a "weird gait." Moved different. Didn't fit the template.
Turns out that weird gait was elite. Top 3 in the world elite.
The market constantly undervalues things that don't fit the mold. In horses. In real estate. In people.
The ones who move different aren't always broken.
Sometimes they're just built for something the rest of us can't see yet.
Mine That Bird is my vote for best Derby of all time. He comes from the depths of hell to win, basically teleporting the last 2 furlongs AND we have perfect HD video, unlike older come from behind winners. The commentator’s astonishment is the icing on the cake.

Sophie Rain praised her financial adviser a week ago & revealed that he only gives her $5k every month & invests the rest in businesses which she has no idea about. Only to find out mid-podcast today that he’s been actually Scamming & Pocketing most of her income 😳
