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.

This is a very nice young horse. He changes every month because he's so young. When you have a horse that good with that kind of breeding, you know he's going to get better. This was a good test.
advantage beat best brother derby finally finished gives good heavy kicked nice order pace point pressed race santa win work
In order to win the Santa Anita Derby, we would have really had to pressed Brother Derek hard. Brother Derek is a very nice horse. I think it was a good race for Point Determined. He could have been a little closer, but he finally kicked in at the end. He got beat 3 1/2 lengths by the best three-year-old, and it gives you something to work with. He finished real strong, and he's not one-dimensional, which would give him a little advantage if there is a real heavy pace in the Derby .
changed good race ran road stop thinking waiting
He ran a good race, but with Bellamy Road in the race it changed the whole thinking process. We were waiting for Bellamy Road to stop and he didn't.
