beat focused football greatest jerry joe last minutes money montana talent
He's the money guy. His greatest talent is that he was very cool, very focused and did his homework. If you got beat with Jerry Bailey, it was because you just didn't have the horse. It was like having Joe Montana in the last two minutes of a football game.
excited fantastic
I'm really excited about him, ... His Dwyer was fantastic off of a layoff.
confident horses
But I'm still pretty confident in my horses.
horses mile running thrilled track
I feel better running here. I wasn't thrilled about the mile and a quarter, or about shipping. A lot of horses have been floundering on the track back there.
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.

He ran great. We feel that he got beat by the best older horse in training right now. I'm just going to wait and see what happens before I decide if he'll go to the Breeders' Cup.

He ran a good race, but with Bellamy Road in the race it changed the whole thinking process. We were waiting for Bellamy Road to stop and he didn't.

I don't think Brother Derek can get in front of this guy. I don't think he wants to.
everybody happens horse horses racing unexpected
It's part of horse racing you never really get used to, ... These horses are like our children, so when something happens like that it's pretty devastating for everybody involved. When it's unexpected like that, it makes it worse.

You try to get excited, but it's not healthy. You can't get excited until you get to this time of year.

The best horses this year are in California.
derby good horses lucky picture trainer year
It's important to every trainer to be in the Derby and I've been lucky enough to have some good horses in it. We are in the picture this year but we've got a long way to go.
changes good horse month nice
This is a very nice young horse. He changes every month because he's so young. When you have a horse that good with that kind of breeding, you know he's going to get better. This was a good test.
