against ahead best determination fast future good great improve relax running time
We went a little fast early. I'm just getting to know the horse, and we need to get him to relax a little bit. He showed some determination in the stretch, and I think we can improve off that. We are running against the best two-year-olds in the country, so I am pleased. Hopefully, he comes back in great shape. He's got a good future ahead of him and we're going to take our time with him.
brother clear covered determination horse last
Brother Derek is going to get out there and do his thing. I just like that my horse will be in the clear for a change. He showed determination last time. He was covered up, had a stop-and-go trip.
believe guy lost missed nicest people race rooted saddest tells won
We lost a giant. He was just the nicest man. He's the only guy I know who won every big race and people still rooted for him. That tells it all right there. Believe me, he will be missed by many. This is just the saddest day.

With Forestry, finally the light came on. He became a good horse and reeled off five in a row.

They already have one in there. He's such a big son of a gun. I might go out of town with him.

Everything went good; everything went to plan. Point of Impact, he's not running. We'll find a race for him. Running three in there is enough.

I've always wanted to go in on top of the race, but I've never had the guts. They've already shipped and won.

We're clicking if he runs that race again.
fastest pops prove sprinter time west
I would never say he's the fastest 3-year-old sprinter on the West Coast. Every time you say something like that another one pops put to prove you wrong. But I would say he's one of the fastest.

Midnight Lute is very talented. As long as we keep him healthy, he has a bright future. He looks like a great prospect.

You like to go into the Derby with a horse that has a chance to win. This horse showed me something ... He really poured it on today.

We never thought in 1991 that six years later we'd be making that historic walk with Silver Charm. We looked like a couple of teenagers walking through there.

We thought with his speed, coming here, he's extremely fast, and Garrett worked him the other day and he was pretty impressed with the way he worked. He worked awesome. If you want to find out if you belong in the Derby, run against the big boys.
