great last
If it is my last one, it's a great way to go out.
accessible food
We're only able to look at getting food to the accessible pockets,
champion crown good ready seems
He seems to be a pretty good horse. I'm not ready to crown him a champion yet, but he was pretty impressive.
cuts hope learning loose reason room second shook shown time top
He shook loose at the top of the stretch, but that was the second time he lugged in. But he's young, and we hope it's just a learning process. He has shown he has a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff. But he is very unique, and part of the reason is because he has a whole lot of ones (victories).
best department education ideas
He?s been one of the best ideas the education department has had in a long time. He?s very bright.
horse
He was the most genuine, charismatic horse I've been on in my life.
cuts improvement room shown
He has shown a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff.
becomes extremely lawsuit sooner
We've been extremely patient. We've done everything we can to accommodate them. Sooner or later, the lawsuit becomes necessary.
broke few ground instead leader leave saving stayed trying
When he broke, he broke out sharply and stayed there for 20 or 30 yards, so instead of saving ground for the first few jumps, I was loosing ground. I was trying to keep him off the leader as long as I could to leave him with a target.
best coming dream horse
He's the best 2-year-old I've ever been on. You dream about a horse like this coming along.
chance hit
I didn't think I had a chance to hit the board.
ride thanksgiving
I'll ride through Thanksgiving and think about it.
bet hope people
I hope more people bet to place than to win.
confident felt front horses knew moment strong turned
I really felt confident the moment I turned up the (backstretch). I knew I had the horses in front of me; I felt pretty strongly. I know Borrego comes with a strong run, but I was actually pretty confident all around.
