came chuck excuse finished guts picked today
I think he showed a lot of guts today because they came to him, and he had every excuse to chuck it in. He went 1:11.05 (for 6 furlongs) and picked it up to 1:34.81 (for 1 mile) and finished really well.
good hopefully horse indicate lead needs punch stay sunshine today
This horse is good right now, and hopefully he'll stay good for the Sunshine Millions. I don't think he needs the lead, and today would indicate that. He probably won't get the lead in the Sunshine Millions, but today would indicate that he could punch it in from anywhere.
chance hope horses
They've only had a three-horse dead-heat once, so you can't hope for that. I just want all of the horses to have their own chance to win.
fast horses run taking
I'm not taking anything away from any horse. What I don't like to do is run two really fast horses in the same race. Each horse should have his own chance, or you shouldn't run him.
came looked raider shadow win
It looked like Shadow Raider was going easy. I thought Shadow Raider was going to win it, but 'Dream came running.
pace race
We don't think there was enough pace to set the race up for us.
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.
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.
derby neither owners run wants
Neither of the owners wants to run in the Derby if he doesn't have a chance.
absolutely bothers lost rare reminds
Absolutely nothing bothers him, and that's a pretty rare thing. He reminds me a lot of Lost in the Fog; he has the same kind of temperament.
absolute chance derby good guy repeatedly run unless win
I told him many times that I think this is a pretty good colt, but he is the kind of guy who doesn't get excited. He said, 'We'll see, we'll see.' He has told me repeatedly that he doesn't want to run in the Derby unless he has an absolute chance to win it.
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.
record whether
Whether it's 2,000 or 2,500, it must be some kind of record for a jockey-trainer team.
