crown genius gotten horses nice reserved special thrown triple winners
Special? Now that is a big word, like genius. It should not be thrown around. Special should be reserved for Triple Crown winners and horses like Spectacular Bid. (Brother Derek) is a very nice horse and he has gotten better and better.
horses proved totally
If it were two turns, that would have been totally different. I know that he's a two-turn horse. He proved it today.
faster horses next races
He can run, that's all there is to it. There hasn't been any faster horses in the races so far, and the next one there will be and it's a whole new game.
barn buying enjoys horses hours looks sales spend together
He's not one to go into the barn and spend hours with the horses - he enjoys the buying of the horses. He comes and looks at the horses with me and we go to the sales together there and at the races.
against horses love takes twenty
In a 10- to 12-horse field, I'd love to be up against any of these horses, and I'd be really confident. Twenty horses takes away some of my tactical strategy.
horses mile ready talked winner
All they talked about was the winner and the third-place horse. He was ready to go a mile and an eighth.
edge turns twice
The only edge I know is I've been around turns twice and he hasn't.
pound
I won't take him off for a pound or two.
hope pick price short
I think they did that because he'll be a short price in the pick six. I hope they're right.
talented
I think this is a very deep, talented group.
excited gray horse might won
I might be more excited if the gray horse won this time.
hope horse keeps
You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that.
easy hoped relaxed
We had hoped to get an easy lead, and he relaxed and finished. He's a real racehorse.
goes improving overall plan planning saturday start
The overall plan has always been to get there. Luckily, we've been improving and he's doing well. Once we get through Saturday and everything goes well, we'll start planning on from there.
