bench came fast good horse last missed race ran sharp since start worked
I thought he worked well. I think he came out of his last race as good as a horse could come out of a race like that, especially considering it was his first start off the bench and they ran fast over a fast racetrack. He hasn't missed an oat and has been very sharp since the race.
finished happy
I was very happy with the way he finished up. He galloped out strong, which is the important thing.
both fence good horse inquiry ran sides tough
I thought my horse ran a very good race. He showed a lot of courage. I've been on both sides of that fence when the inquiry comes. It's a tough loss, but it was our day.
both courage fun good horse race ran sides turns
I thought my horse ran a very good horse. He showed a lot of courage. He was impeded a little bit. He's never been at two turns before. He was a one-turn horse. It was a very good race and we got him to relax. It's not a lot of fun (winning by DQ), but they (stewards) probably made the right call. I've been on both sides of the call.
good happy
You know, we're in it to win. But I thought (First Samurai) did everything right, about as good as he could do, other than win. I was very happy with the race.
fun
It's not a lot of fun (winning by disqualification), but they (stewards) probably made the right call.
good month plan prep race whatever
I've got a prep race under him. He's had a month between races, two good works. I've done what I've wanted to do with him, and it will be pretty much up to him. He's got to show he can do it. If he doesn't, if he's out the back door, you've got to go to plan B. Whatever that is.
area bit far gray horse mentally run time whether
Any time you've got a young horse and you're going two turns, there's a little bit of gray area there whether he could run that far mentally or physically.
chose cup reason road
We chose that road to the Breeders' Cup because it was around one turn. There was no reason to try anything else.
according blue gate happened leaving starting
According to Dr. Hunt, it had to have happened in the starting gate or leaving the gate in the Blue Grass. Nothing happened to him at the barn.
both game phases races run six tremendous year
This game is 'what have you done for me lately?' in all phases of it. I would say yeah, he probably is a little under the radar. I thought both of his races this year were tremendous races but he hasn't run in six weeks.
area good gray horse improve key physically reason strong
There's a little gray area there. But physically he's a big, strong horse and he'll relax. The good ones improve from 2 to 3. That's the key to any of them, and I see no reason to think he won't.
tee time
It's time to tee it up and do it.
chance gave happy jerry since time
It was the first time Jerry was on him since the Hopeful, and he was pretty happy the way he worked. We gave him the chance to lug in and he never even thought about it. Hopefully, he won't do that in the afternoons.
