great last
If this is my last Breeders' Cup, it's a great way to go out.
created figure great hate losing perfect scenario though trying
I hate to see Javier come off, but it created a perfect scenario for me. There was more speed, more of a 'rabbit', and it put me in a great spot. Everyone was trying to figure out what he (Disco's Son) was doing, and it put me in the catbird seat. Even though I was losing ground, I was in a great spot.

I knew I had that horse, ... Flower Alley is a good horse, you can't dismiss him. But I really felt confident.
asked good lack lined looked month people sale worked
I'm not really surprised. If you had asked me a month ago, I would have said I didn't have those expectations, but it all worked out and as people lined up on the horse, he looked like he could potentially be a sale topper. You don't know before you come to the sale what's going to happen, but he's been as good as we've had all year. It was a lack of nothing wrong. He just did everything right. There were no problems.

This new seat will be far less dangerous than my old one.
best biggest competing enjoy horses passion races routine
I still enjoy competing in the biggest races on the best horses on the biggest days. But to get to those days, there are a lot of routine days, and I just didn't feel the passion I should have felt.
horse mind
I've always thought that one horse wouldn't make up my mind one way or the other,
dismiss fact horse post took worse
You shouldn't dismiss the fact that the post this horse had breaking. He took the worse of it today, and still was very authoritative in winning.
