"There is nothing that equals your horse coming down the stretch, and the moment you realize he’s going to either win or be in the money," said O'Cain. "It is just the thrill of a lifetime, it really is.”
   
In Aqueduct's film room, O'Cain watched the race with Larry's trainer, Leah Gyarmati. On the screen, Larry broke slow out of the gate, but made a run on the turn. At the eighth pole, he looked like he might fade back to last. “I wasn’t thinking he would win or even be second," Gyramati said. "Then all of a sudden, the last two jumps, he came zigzagging through horses.”
 
Call Me Larry trailed only Hickory Stick at the finish, earning $8,200. It was Larry's first place for O’Cain and his first win for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Ten percent of these and other winnings will go toward research.

O'Cain would like to have a Derby winner run under Find A Cure Stable and its silks, but she'd be satisfied just getting more horses involved. As she sees it, horse owners wanting to join the effort could opt to race under Find A Cure Stable instead of their own stable name. That way, on any given day, there could be several horses running throughout the U.S. to raise money for breast cancer research.

O’Cain’s vision is obstructed now by state regulations that prevent horse owners from racing their horses under a different stable name without transferring ownership.

“We have to start with our regulatory agency and get them to understand what I’m trying to do -- because this is revolutionary,” O’Cain said. “I’m going to make this happen. I don’t care what I have to do. Even if I have to go state to state where there’s racing and bang on all the doors of the powers that be that write the regulations.”

Until then, Call Me Larry will ride solo in his race for a cure. To provide him with some company, O'Cain hopes her cause brings more fans to the racetrack.

“I would like to get a lot of survivors to the track,” she said. “I’d like to have a day where they all come to see Call Me Larry run. Why can’t we rally around a horse?”
