good hard races squeeze wait
Right now we will take a hard look at the Oaks, but we'll probably wait for the Acorn. There are so many good races you don't want to squeeze the lemon.
doubt last rainy shame track
There's no doubt it was the track last time. It was on a big day of racing. It was a shame that it was the only rainy day we've had.
catching excessive hits leads switched
I don't think she appreciated being inside, catching excessive dirt. But once she switched leads she hits another gear. She's done it in all her races. She's exciting.
doubt eighth fast hat horses jockey last mile racetrack run spun trouble wheels
No doubt the fast racetrack made the difference. She spun her wheels in the slop last time. I could see she was in trouble in the Old Hat after an eighth of a mile when the jockey was scrubbing on her and she was going nowhere. A lot of horses didn't run that day and we were one of them.
criteria high met
She was pretty high on our 'buy list.' She met all the criteria we look for in a racehorse.
qualities stood strong
She stood out pretty strong on our list. She had the qualities we liked.
eighth last tremendous
She's just tremendous the last eighth of a mile. She's got such a big kick.
chance good love stand sustains
I love the way she sustains her run, and I think there's a good chance we'll try the Ashland. That way we can get an idea where we stand with her.
