best fast handle horse race training
He's the best horse in the race, and I don't think I should be worried. I mean, he's training super. He's doing great. We just have to find out how well he will handle a fast track, and I think he will do that fine.
broke gave happy hopefully horses sharp
Hopefully he's back. He broke sharp and was right with those horses from the go. ... He never gave up. I was very happy with his race.
cover either proven race sets wants
If she wants to go to the lead, we could, or I may cover her up. She can go either way. She has proven that. I will have to see how the race sets up.
bumped coming finished happy hard lost worse
I never wanted to be worse than third, but he got bumped pretty hard coming out of the gate. We lost a little positioning after that. I was happy with the race. He still finished up well.
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.
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.
easy hard hold nice pulled took
They let me go nice and easy and I took it. She pulled real hard and was able to hold on.
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.
behind broke great hole kicked leaders-and-leadership opened sat
He broke great and sat behind the leaders. That hole opened up, and he got right through it and kicked on very strongly.
broke fourth middle pull time tried
He broke down behind. We were fourth at the time and I tried to pull him out so he didn't go down in the middle of the field.
best ran step
He ran good, and it's not his best distance. He was right there with the pace, every step of the way.
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.
advantage asked horse kicked race speed took
This horse was the only speed in the race, and I took advantage of it. When I asked him, he kicked it in strong.
