care good horse kid manage possibly
I want to take care of this horse as well as I possibly can. From here on, I want to manage him with kid gloves, if you know what I mean, because the horse has been good to us.
gets good high horse road speed
Bellamy Road is a big horse, but he's pretty good at the gate, ... You always want a horse like that in the clear. One thing about Bellamy Road, he's got such a high octane. ... I mean, once he gets going I don't think there will be much of a speed duel.
florida good needed worked
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.
good horse might people rabbit rabbits running using
Sometimes running a rabbit works, sometimes it backfires. People have been using rabbits for hundreds of years. The rabbit has to be a good horse because they might not necessarily be able to do the job.
against distance good great lost road seven sprint star
Seven furlongs (King's Bishop) is a great distance to come back. But then Bellamy Road would have to go up against unbeaten sprint star Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, I don't think the Travers (1 1/4 miles) has as good competition.
against competition distance fog four good great lost run seven
Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog but that mile-and-a-quarter, he hasn't run in four months.
against amazing competition distance duplicate four good gotten great horse lost memorial mile quarter run seven taller wood
Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter - he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed; he's gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.
broke deserved good luck races run today tough
She deserved this because she's run well in big races but had some tough luck. Today she broke good and was a different filly.
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.
good high hopes horse
We've had high hopes for our horse all year. We'll see how he does Saturday. If he's good enough, he's good enough. I would like to get there with him.
act good happen hate horses lost
Usually trainers are good to each other and volunteer, but I've had it happen with trainers who hate my guts, and there's trainers who I've lost horses to who I hate their guts. It's uncomfortable, but you have to act like a pro.
ahead derby easier either far horses kentucky line looking mine rest saturday small step top year
In a way it will be easier on me this year being the underdog, because there is no pressure. It's a small line from here when looking ahead to the Kentucky Derby. Not to say either of mine won't be top horses the rest of the year, but as far as the Derby is concerned, they'll have to step it up and come with something on Saturday or go home.
situation thankful trying
I'm just thankful to be in a situation that at least we can try. And we're trying.
great job last red saying work yankees
I'm not saying this because I work for George, ... but the Yankees have done such a great job for 20-some-odd years. The Red Sox, on the other hand, have had some interesting years the last two seasons.
