days eight galloping gets good halfway morning ready three weeks
This was another good morning and if we gets eight more days just like that, he will be ready to go. He is galloping good and doing good. When I got here, I said I wanted three good weeks and he is halfway there.
beat good lawyer running
I think he'll be running at the end. Will that be good enough to beat Lawyer Ron? I don't know.
bad bother good mile regardless track wet
He galloped a mile and a half, as planned. I didn't think the track was that bad when he went. It was wet but it was in good shape. The track is not going to bother us regardless anyway.
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.
definitely foot good horses middle previous race seen step turn
A little turn of foot in the middle of the race you like to see, and most good horses have it. It was something we hadn't seen in any of his previous races, so that was definitely a step forward.
hope hoping lawyer longer maybe move pace ron scenario somebody soon works
We're hoping to get a little better pace scenario for us, and that Robby maybe won't have to move as soon with a little longer stretch. Maybe somebody will kind of go with Lawyer Ron the first part. We hope it works out.
change mapped months planned schedule shoes worked
When we mapped out his schedule two months ago, we planned it so he would have a change of shoes before he worked at Churchill, if he got that far.
Well, he's not a one-dimensional horse. We thought he had to have the lead. Obviously, that's not the case.
derby horse people thinking
So many people are thinking they have a Derby horse that we're going to need a big effort.
decent front halfway hope pace
We hope we get some halfway decent pace in front of us, and then we'll see if we can reel him in.
eighth fast mile
Like I've said before, I can't get to a mile and an eighth fast enough.
behind far ground lawyer lost rebel second three turn wider
I don't think we're far behind Lawyer Ron. We lost enough ground in the Rebel on the first turn and were a little wider than him in the second turn to make me think that he wasn't three lengths better than us.
thunder track
If the track is muddy, that won't be a problem. I just don't want him out there if there is thunder and lightning.
