home last likely point today wood work
We can work on it. He's a lot better today than in his last race. He'll probably be even better when we get him back home to New York. We'll likely point him for the Wood (Memorial).
bear clear hard home horse last likely point race run today tough win wood work
I don't know why they did what they did (stewards disqualification). It was clear that he was the better horse. We can work on it (tendency to bear in). He's a lot better today than in his last race. He'll probably be even better when we get him back home to New York. We'll likely point him for the Wood (Memorial). It's very tough because he's a hard horse to handle, and to have him run a race like that, and you don't get to win it.
broke fast gets last mess relax sprinter starts sure tough
In her last two starts she broke very well. She can relax when she gets away fast early, and then she's really tough to beat. I'm not sure what's next. She's really a dyed-in-the-wool sprinter and you don't want to mess with that too much.
looks running runs training
It looks like he's training really well. If he runs like he's been running, he'll be tough.
best deal hard horse momentum race run stopped thinks
It's a shame, because he was the best horse. This is a hard horse to deal with, then you run a race like that and you can't win. Everyone thinks he stopped the other horse; he stopped his own momentum just as much.
running runs
If he just runs like he's been running he should be tough.
