derby exactly happened happy likes tracy whatever
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.
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.

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.

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.

I'll be happy to have just one, but I hope I have more.

I'll be enjoying it. I'll just be a spectator and appreciative of the Kentucky Derby.

We're going to try to see if they can get to run in the Kentucky Derby. If they can't, you proceed elsewhere.
couple either race sure
Either race is very, very tough. Let me just think about it for a couple of days. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
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.
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.
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.
