gotten lost ready six tired weeks
Six weeks ago, he was ready to run. He's gotten tired of training; mentally, he's lost the edge.
best guessing race ready run time
He hasn't run in a long time and I've never run him before. I'm guessing he'd need to get a race in him to get on his best footing, but he's ready to get started.
good ready ship week
He's in good shape. We'll get ready here and then ship (to New York) about a week or so out.
dubai racing smaller succeeded
Dubai has succeeded in making the world smaller and racing bigger.
longer looks next ship
Everything's going great. He'll get a little longer one (workout) next week. We'll ship the 23rd, the way it looks now.
run since worked
I wasn't too impressed. But he's worked really well since then and I think he'll run his 'A' race.
kept sick thinking
I'm sick of him, ... I kept thinking he was not that good. He's pretty freaking good.
few found later realized
We found this a few years later after we realized we didn't keep anything when he was around.
horse ill last month race ran sure train winter
This was the big obstacleto get him back, make sure he ran the race that he did last winter here, and he did that, ... From here, Ill just train him like any other horse and come back a month from now in the Breeders Cup.

We were disappointed when he ran fourth that time. This is what we've been looking for.

It?s fairly minor, just at a bad time,
deep gets saturday time
It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and Saturday it gets pretty deep. So we'll find out. It will tell us what we've got.
deep gets nice promise saturday stepping time
There's been a lot of nice colts like my own that show promise and are stepping up. It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and I think Saturday it gets pretty deep.
cup mess year
That's kind of the short-range plan. We're going to get to the Breeders' Cup this year and not mess it up.
