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.

You don't want to sit on them too long.

There was nothing they could do with this type of injury, ... It's the kind that won't heal, and they usually founder and suffer.

The weather scares me. I hope the track isn't too hard.

something's brewing in the foot. It'll take about four days before we can do anything, so we decided to pull the plug.

advantage beat best brother derby finally finished gives good heavy kicked nice order pace point pressed race santa win work
In order to win the Santa Anita Derby, we would have really had to pressed Brother Derek hard. Brother Derek is a very nice horse. I think it was a good race for Point Determined. He could have been a little closer, but he finally kicked in at the end. He got beat 3 1/2 lengths by the best three-year-old, and it gives you something to work with. He finished real strong, and he's not one-dimensional, which would give him a little advantage if there is a real heavy pace in the Derby .

derby enjoy forward horrible last looking run trail tremendous unless
I'm looking forward to being on the Derby Trail again. I enjoy myself when I'm on it and you have to enjoy yourself because there will be disappointments. If you are one-two-three in last preps, you've got a chance. If you run horrible in those races, unless you've got a tremendous excuse, you've got no excuse.

I just hope it doesn't rain too much. She's much better going two turns but this is a grade I and you've got to get the black type if you can.

He's fast. It's going to take him a couple races to come around.
