fits saw
It was an encouraging race. We saw that he probably fits there.
distance farther finishing later move race run
I want to see her finishing the race so that we can move farther later on. I don't think the distance is ideal. We want to run longer.
far work
So far she's made it all work in her favor.
horses tough
It's a real tough race. You have horses that go to the lead. Some come from behind. So it's going to be an interesting race.
came happy kentucky left logical oaks run santa straight strong totally whether won
After she won the Santa Anita Oaks, we left it totally up to her to tell us whether we should go straight to the Kentucky Oaks or run her one more time. She came out so strong and so happy that this was the logical move.
