Bill Mott on Olympiad finishing second to Flightline in Breeders' Cup Classic

Video starts with b-roll of the $6 million Longines Breeders' Cup Classic, horses coming onto the track, coming in front of grandstand first time and stretch. Then we catch up with Bill Mott, who finished second to unbeaten superstar Flightline with 26-1 Olympiad. Mott earlier won the $1 million Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile with Cody's Wish and the $2 million Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint with Elite Power. He wrapped up the day with a victory in the nightcap, the $350,000 Fall Harvest presented by The Mint Gaming Hall with Wakanaka.

Nice price money 💰 for second place finish is like him winning a GR1

[@deenaminyard3788]

Congratulations Bill. Your horse "done good."

Beast!

1.2million for second. His cut his 10% yup, he's a happy camper

[@depalma13]

The trainer gets no cut unless the horse wins.

[@rossdelano7603]

Standard 10% of purse money for trainer and jockey whether the horse comes first or 5th. Jockey has to usually give around 25% of his purse money to his agents.

That's a nice second and I knew he would, because his 1:47sec at 9 furlongs was always consistent with the speed number of California Chrome,Arrogate ,Gun Runner ,Knicks Go.Which show me that 10 furlong would not have be a problem for Olympiad.However, it clearly showed how far Life Is Good really wants to go.

The race of a life line

I think the jury is still out for Life Is Good. Not too many horses can run with Flightline.
