grade great horses northern questions race
There are questions about him because he's from Northern California, but this is a Grade 3 race, and a lot of horses have come out of it to do great things.
race run track train trying win
We're going back with the idea of trying to win it; we're not going just to run in the race. If we get back there, and he doesn't like the track and doesn't train well, we won't run.
pace race
We don't think there was enough pace to set the race up for us.
experiment race sure thinking worked
That was just an experiment that worked out. We sure weren't thinking about any million-dollar race for him.
goal races ultimate win worth
We need races in between what your ultimate goal is. If he can win on Saturday, it makes the ultimate goal worth pursuing.
expect gives race steady
He's been very steady for us, and we always expect a big race from him, and he always gives it.
believe california derby guess illinois last looking missed next past race since time
He hasn't missed any time at all since his last race. If he does well on Saturday, I'd guess the Illinois Derby could be next but, believe me, we're not looking past the California Derby.
cell consider derby good hawaii listened persuaded race sure
He is in Hawaii and listened to the race on the cell phone. I'm sure he can be persuaded to consider going for the Derby after such a good win.
good race
He got sick, got better and then relapsed. That was a good race for him.
believe build cause confidence figures horse horses races seen shown win
I use Beyer Figures as a tool, but I don't need them to build my confidence up. I think I've got a horse that does what he has to do to win and not a lot more. From what I've seen of the races this year, Cause to Believe is in the hunt. He has shown as much or more than a lot of horses that are being considered.
barn came expect good horse impressive race run winner
The winner is very impressive and a very great-looking horse that we thought would win if we didn't. I didn't expect to run third, but he did gallop out well after the race and came back to the barn in very good shape.
derby neither owners run wants
Neither of the owners wants to run in the Derby if he doesn't have a chance.
bought change cost couple criteria eighth given horse hundred mile owner worked
When I bought him, he worked an eighth of a mile in 102/5. That was the criteria my owner wanted: a well-bred horse that worked in 10 and change and didn't cost a couple hundred thousand. We would have given a lot more for him.
exciting finishes horse late might running
When the horse made his exciting finishes and was running on late very strong, we thought the horse might have some potential.
