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.
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.
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.
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.

We're just going to keep our options open. He's going to run somewhere at the meet. Never say, 'Never'. When that horse is right, he runs with anybody.
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.
alley flower horse length
Absolutely. What's he doing a length off Flower Alley and Bellamy Road? ... You take a horse out of his game, that's it.

They are the only two horses left standing. It's great to have a rematch. It should be a lot of fun.

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.

He tried to save some ground, and a horse stopped in front of him. He actually was better off making a big, sweeping move.

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.
