horses
When you've got a come-from-behind horse, that's more horses you've got to come through.
horse last mile running second sets
He's still the horse to beat. At a mile and a sixteenth, he's still the horse to beat. If it sets up like it did the last time, we're probably all running for second again.
cool enjoys morning nice picking train
He's a pretty cool customer. We take him out after we train him in the morning and like to get him out in the afternoon. It's nice to have this because he enjoys picking a little grass.
field figuring half race
I'm figuring we're probably going to be in the back half of the field the first part of the race and see if we can reel them in.
carry good horses qualities speed wrong
So far, from what I can see, he really hasn't done anything wrong on dirt. He's got qualities those good horses have. He's got speed and he can carry it.
finish good gotten saying
I'm not saying he would have gotten to the winner, but had he had a good trip, he would have made the finish closer.
energy high level seems
His energy level is real high and he seems pretty happy.
lawyer ron running runs
If Lawyer Ron runs his race, then we're all probably running for second. He's been very impressive.
bother
If you're the big horse, you're going to get the attention. That doesn't bother me.
head horse interest kentucky legitimate unless
I've never had a horse in the Kentucky Derby. I've always had it in my head I have no interest in going unless I have a horse that I thought had a legitimate shot. And I think this is a mile-and-a-quarter horse.
affect screw
It's not going to affect me that much. I may have done a little more with him, but it's not going to screw me up.
easy finished legs nice stretch
It was just what we were wanting, a nice easy half. It was a little maintenance move, to let him stretch his legs a little bit. He did it the right way. He finished up well and galloped out good.
