easy edgar gate looking pop work
It was what we were looking for. Just an easy work to let Edgar get a feel for him. I wanted to let him pop out of the gate and just take it easy from there. Nothing too hard.
bring fine gate good next pop ready sure three
Most trainers have a style. When you haven't raced in three months, in my opinion, I think it's a good idea to pop them out of the gate before you bring them back. Now I know he's doing fine right now. I'm sure that we'll be ready to try next week.
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.
both fence inquiry sides today tough
I've been on both sides of the fence when the inquiry comes. It's a tough loss. But today was our day.
derby plan sure
Things just didn't go well for him today. I'm sure we'll go to Plan B, which would probably be off the Derby trail.
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.
far okay spot
As far as I know now I'm okay in that spot with Edgar.
breaks hold jock
I'd like to see him just off the pace. But if he breaks running, I wouldn't want the jock to take hold of him.
coming good horse ran satisfied sharp
I was satisfied with the way my horse ran coming off the bench. He was good and sharp ... he just couldn't get to the other horse.
ahead began beyond call committed edgar far game horse jerry knew meet might ride riding
Like everyone else, I knew there was a possibility Jerry might not ride the whole winter, but I told him before the meet began that as long as he was still riding and the horse was doing well he'd have the mount. At the moment, Edgar has the call for the Hutcheson and we've committed to nothing else beyond that point. In this game you never want to get too far ahead of yourself.
dynamite good horse kept race ran stayed stride
My horse did everything right other than he didn't win. He ran a dynamite race off the bench, which isn't a given. His stride was good at the end. He stayed on and kept fighting, which was a good sign.
