almost hollywood learned ran relax
He's learned to relax a little bit. I almost ran him in the Hollywood Futurity, but I wanted to give him more time.
against good horses run
If you want to go to the Derby, you've got to run against good horses and find out if you belong.
against belong coming extremely impressed run worked
We thought with his speed, coming here, he's extremely fast, and Garrett worked him the other day and he was pretty impressed with the way he worked. He worked awesome. If you want to find out if you belong in the Derby, run against the big boys.
against ahead best determination fast future good great improve relax running time
We went a little fast early. I'm just getting to know the horse, and we need to get him to relax a little bit. He showed some determination in the stretch, and I think we can improve off that. We are running against the best two-year-olds in the country, so I am pleased. Hopefully, he comes back in great shape. He's got a good future ahead of him and we're going to take our time with him.
good legitimate major win
It makes you feel good when you win those major preps. It makes you feel like you have a legitimate chance. It's just that I've been getting better horses. I'm in a good place, and I have good 3-year-olds.
best continues cup gone highly likely quick sprint worked
He went very nice. This is the best he's gone in a long time. The way he worked today, the Breeders' Cup Sprint would probably be highly likely for him if he continues the way he's going. He's a quick horse. He's fast.
believe guy lost missed nicest people race rooted saddest tells won
We lost a giant. He was just the nicest man. He's the only guy I know who won every big race and people still rooted for him. That tells it all right there. Believe me, he will be missed by many. This is just the saddest day.
against california
Plus, out here in California you have these speed-favoring tracks, so there was a lot going against him.
fun passion video
I always told him he should have done a video on how to be a racehorse owner. He had a passion for it and he had fun and he could take the knocks.
best horses year
The best horses this year are in California.
