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.
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.
grade time win
He's still pretty green, but any time you win a Grade I at Saratoga, it's pretty good.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
gets good
He's about as good as it gets for 2-year-olds.
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.
