against caliber forward happy late looking looks mile quarter running
He always comes running late. So we're happy he showed that same late run today, especially against this caliber of horse. It looks like he'll like a mile and a quarter and we're looking forward to the opportunity.

We just thought it was a great fit for Mike to ride a gray son of Holy Bull if we get in.
beaten finishing last race races ran seem work
Races at a mile-and-three-eighths to a mile-and-a-half seem to work out well for him. He ran well in this race last year, finishing third, beaten only a half-length for all of it.
hole run sure tough
That 10 hole is tough but to run as well as he did is really something. We didn't win, but we sure got close.
hope
That's the least of our worries. He's our friend, and we just hope he's OK.
backing dash doubt hopefully mad matter quickly running several
