great
If she's doing great it could be that race. We'll let her tell us.
runs sinister
Sinister Minister, you can't control. He just runs off. . . . He's a runaway train.
deserves good sharp
You've got to have a good horse, but you've got to have the trip. I think Senor Swinger deserves to be in there. He's a good miler. He's very sharp right now.
cream needs rises running start
He needs distance. When they start running a mile-and-an-eighth, that's when the cream rises to the top.
blue horse quarter waking win
The horse is waking up at just the right time. When he got to the quarter pole, I thought, 'Son of a gun, I'm going to win the Blue Grass.
showing stuff
He just had little pesky injuries. He's showing his stuff now.
brother clear covered determination horse last
Brother Derek is going to get out there and do his thing. I just like that my horse will be in the clear for a change. He showed determination last time. He was covered up, had a stop-and-go trip.
serious
This colt's got some serious gears. He's really fast. He's the quickest Cal-bred I've ever trained.
race riders running sitting track
She was sitting on a race like this. I was leery about running her on this track but all the riders said it was safe.
point race running three
Everything went good; everything went to plan. Point of Impact, he's not running. We'll find a race for him. Running three in there is enough.
brought heavy horse needs ran
He ran with a quarter-crack in Florida, and I brought him back (to California) to give him a break. He's a heavy horse and needs a race, but it will set him up for the Breeders' Cup.
bunch difficult lead routine save stretch surgery switched together turning
This is just devastating for me and my team. It was a routine gallop. He was turning into the stretch and when he switched to his right lead that's when it happened. We had a bunch of different vets look at him to see if surgery was possible. They got together and they all said they wouldn't. The sesamoids are really difficult to save a horse.
bigger brought hot knew needs pace run santa
I brought him here because of his style. There is going to be a hot pace (in the Santa Anita Derby) and I knew he would run much better here. He needs a bigger track.
changes month nice
This is a very nice young horse. He changes every month because he's so young.
