days leaving until win
One of these days I'm going to win that thing, and you're not going to see me again. But I'm not leaving until I win it.
good legitimate major win
It makes you feel good when you win those major preps. It makes you feel like you have a legitimate chance. It's just that I've been getting better horses. I'm in a good place, and I have good 3-year-olds.
beat bob both boxed break credible determined either john missed point ran sure tired winner
They both ran credible races. They were right there. Bob and John missed the break and got tired and Point Determined was boxed in the whole way. I'm not so sure either was going to beat the winner that day.
cleaned couple cup farms foot found horse interested left looked looks matter open racing retired run stud weeks window
After we retired him we looked at his foot and found out he just had an undermined abscess in there and we cleaned it out, and now the horse actually looks pretty good, ... As a matter of fact, if the Breeders Cup was just another couple weeks away, we could probably run him in it. Stud farms are interested in him, but we left the window open a little bit. He actually could have a lot of racing left in him.
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 .
blue horse quarter waking win
The horse is waking up at just the right time. When he got to the quarter pole, I thought, 'Son of a gun, I'm going to win the Blue Grass.
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.
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.

They already have one in there. He's such a big son of a gun. I might go out of town with him.
point race running three
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.
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.
shipped top
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.

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.
