again horses nice scary
Other horses could come to him and he would just take off again ... a really nice ride. And he did it easy, and that's the scary part.
changed horse
Everything changed when that horse stumbled out of the gate.
good horse maintain straight supposed
I think the stewards did a good job. His horse (Javier Castellano on Corinthian) was supposed to maintain a straight course.
anyone full run step
I don't think anyone was going to go by her. She was full of run every step of the way.
against control great race run start wonder
She was in control of the race from the beginning. It was great for her first start back. She had run against Intercontinental and Wonder Again (last year).
gaining good horse position quicker
She was in a good position but (Proposed) had quicker acceleration than my filly. I think that was the difference. But my horse was gaining and she galloped out good and strong.
came front good last races ran run super tough year
She can run on the front or come from behind. She ran some tough races last year and she came back real good this year. There's a long year ahead, and she just did a super job.
aggressive left ran
She ran really well in Florida. She was very aggressive out of the gate, on the bit, but she had enough left in the tank.
hard horse proud tried
My horse tried real hard and I was very proud of him.
couple fog hoping horses lost race
Why shouldn't Lost in the Fog be the even-money favorite? ... He is 10-for-10. But I'm hoping that they all soften him up for me. There are a couple of horses in the race with a lot of speed.
easy feeling relax
I've got a better feeling for him now. He's easy to ride, and I think we can get him to relax going 1 1/8 miles.
again broke felt himself hit horses left mind nice perfect plenty scary step super trip turning waiting
It was a super trip all the way around. He broke so well, and put himself in perfect position. I felt comfortable every step of the way. Other horses would come to him, and he would just take off again ... a really nice ride, and he did it easy, and that's the scary part. Turning for home, I hit him to get his mind on business, but he was just waiting for me to tell him what to do. There is plenty left in that tank.
gave great horses outside race worked
It worked out great for me. The other horses in the race all had the speed. So I just waited, and when I went outside in the stretch, she gave me another gear.
exact gate gave good ran running wayne worked
It worked out beautifully. Wayne gave me exact instructions to come running out of the gate but give her a little breather on the backside. She ran a good race.
