awesome horse liked looked pace sat tells victor
He looked pretty awesome today. He sat off that pace and I really liked how he was extending. Victor tells me this horse is better than we thought.
bigger brought hot knew needs pace run santa
I brought him here because of his style. There is going to be a hot pace (in the Santa Anita Derby) and I knew he would run much better here. He needs a bigger track.
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 .
fast field happen
When you've got a 20-horse field and a fast pace, anything can happen out there.

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.
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.

Just goes to show you that there is so much speed in California, it's like a vacation when you get away from there.

Jerry Bailey said he didn't bring his 'A' game to the Travers, ... I asked him if he still thought he could get a mile and a quarter, and he said he could if he ran like he did in the Haskell.
blow class gone gut hold horse shows won
I thought the other horse was going to blow by. To hold on like he did shows his quality. This was a gut check. Class always prevails. If he could have gone slower, he probably could have won by more.
chance derby horse poured
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.

You always want to come to the Derby with a good horse. And we're back here now with three really good horses. It feels nice.

We're clicking if he runs that race again.

When I saw 22, I thought that wasn't bad. I didn't want to see 21. She's so fast.
