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.
arkansas derby kentucky nice objective obviously using
He's obviously a nice colt. But I can't see them having him all cranked up to win. Their objective is the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby, so I think they're using it for what it is a prep.
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.
carpet magic
We want him to take us on a magic carpet ride. We're going to need a big effort.
carpet magic
We want him to take us on a magic carpet ride. If we get to Kentucky, who knows?
horses
When you've got a come-from-behind horse, that's more horses you've got to come through.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Well, he's not a one-dimensional horse. We thought he had to have the lead. Obviously, that's not the case.
