far forward good horse imagine matter months moving opportunity race ran room seen six time
I thought he ran great. That was his first race in a long time and I can't imagine him not moving forward off of that. As a matter of fact, I think there's a very good opportunity six months from now for us to see a whole lot different horse than what we've seen so far, as far as better. There's just so much room there, racing-wise and maturity-wise for him to get better.
phone popular ringing
The phone has been ringing off the hook. He's a very popular horse.
bigger cap fan since taken
I don't think he's taken that Steelers' cap off since he got to Arkansas. There's not a bigger Steelers' fan in the country.
gun high horse likes loves son work
Everything the horse does, he does with high energy. He loves to work in the mornings. And most of all, the son of a gun likes to win.
ability respond says stew talking
I was talking to Stew afterward, and he said she just wanted it. She didn't want to get beat. That says a lot. I know how much ability she has, and now to have the gut-check like that and then respond the way she did, that's all good.
looking time
We're looking at a whole lot of time again.
decided fair fighting losing position
We decided we were fighting a losing battle. It's the right thing to do for the horse. It would not be fair to put him in a competitive position again.
bit last thinks year
I think she's stronger. She's a little bit bigger. She's very confident, where last year you could tell she was a little timid. Now, she thinks she's the queen.
hate horse point start teaching
I think we're at the point now where we need to start teaching this horse some different options. I hate to think he's one-dimensional.
absolutely ride
That was an absolutely masterful ride by Stewart.
I see a lot of her in him, in his mannerisms.
might stalking unless
I think you might see him stalking this time, unless they go 24, 48. If they do that, then he'll be in front.
early expect running third
I expect her to probably be off the early pace, probably third or fourth, and come running.
great guy train
He was a great guy and a great competitor. He was a great guy to train for.
