People have been using rabbits for hundreds of years. Sometimes running a rabbit works and sometimes it backfires.
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.
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.
kentucky proceed run
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.
bad bunch coming gate hit quality runs schooled side test
She should like getting back to Belmont. She's a quality filly and she never runs a bad race. She hit the side of the gate coming out in the Test and we've schooled her a bunch of times, so I think she'll be different.
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.
rising since
Since he's come back to Kentucky, he's been super. I think he's rising up at the right time.
air longer means mile oxygen
Obviously, going a mile and a quarter, you try to get those gallops in, which means the longer the better. You try to get some air into them, some oxygen and stamina. On the other hand, you've got to have the horse. We think we've got that with Bellamy Road. We're pretty confident.
horse options run runs somewhere
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.
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.
