No question, of all the 3-year-olds I had he needed it the most. He's working unbelievable. He's worked as good as he worked for the Florida Derby.
chance distance sun win
This is a chance to see what Sun King's distance limitations are. Let's get it over with. If he won't go that far, we'll just back him up and win the Metropolitan.
beat care gave great guts horse jock johnny possibly race rode run salute treasure tremendous
I salute the winner, and Johnny rode a tremendous race. My jock rode a great race, too. I want to take care of this horse as well as I possibly can, because he gave his guts for us. They had to run to beat this horse today. I've got a real treasure in Bellamy Road.

I watched Spectacular Bid break his maiden (27) years ago, and he reminded me of him.

He's doing great. He'll be ready for his first breeze in about two weeks.

He tried to save some ground, and a horse stopped in front of him. He actually was better off making a big, sweeping move.
target worked
He worked well and is on target for Tampa.
coming duplicate expecting good race
He's coming up to this race as good as he ever has. I'm expecting him to duplicate what he did in the Belmont. I don't know if that's good enough to win, but he should have a good run.
chance gets hoping run tremendous
He hasn't run in 112 days, but he's a tremendous horse. We're hoping he gets the chance to show what he can do.
brought company grade horse run success talented thoroughly throughout year
He is a very talented horse who has run in top-class company throughout his career. This year should have brought him the Grade 1 success he so thoroughly deserved.

People have been using rabbits for hundreds of years. Sometimes running a rabbit works and sometimes it backfires.

That's exactly right. It'll tell you if you can go on. Whatever happened in the Derby he's back on his way again. I'm really happy with him. Tracy likes to play the game.

I love my jockey. Put it this way, if anybody can (relax the horse), he can.
angels surrounded
I'm surrounded by angels when I come back here.
