great horses left
They are the only two horses left standing. It's great to have a rematch. It should be a lot of fun.
believe close horse matter run style truly wants
I truly believe you never take a horse out of his game. No matter how you try strategizing, it doesn't work. If the horse wants to run close to the lead, you let him run close to the lead. He has to run the style that makes him comfortable.
improvement length
We're getting close. I like that. We usually find a length or two (improvement) when we come to Kentucky. He's got to be first or second. That's what we need.
hoping
We'll see who develops. That's what I'm hoping for.
fortunate march might
We're going to see where we're at on March 4. The unfortunate thing is we might not see what we want to see, and the fortunate thing is at least it ain't May 4.
anybody love
I love my jockey. Put it this way, if anybody can (relax the horse), he can.
broke guess kept law ready reputation rooting
I guess it's the law of averages. We had the reputation for getting 3-year-olds ready and everyone kept rooting for us but we never broke through.
duplicate horse wood
Hopefully, if he can duplicate the Wood Memorial, you'll see what kind of horse he is.
feeling
I had a feeling that's how he had to win.
ability amazing gotten taller
He's an amazing horse. 'He's gotten taller and longer. He's got the ability.
excited forward great hope keeps race ran
You have to be excited about Great Point. He ran a great race and you just hope he keeps going forward and comes around.
front horse save stopped sweeping tried
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.
