Midnight Lute is very talented. As long as we keep him healthy, he has a bright future. He looks like a great prospect.
burst good great hoping lined run step style tough
I'd like to run in the Travers. I was hoping he would step up today. He's got a great style now. He's got a great burst of speed. It was tough to get him here. But I think we've got a good thing lined up.
great
If she's doing great it could be that race. We'll let her tell us.
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.
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.
blow class gone gut hold horse shows won
I thought the other horse was going to blow by. To hold on like he did shows his quality. This was a gut check. Class always prevails. If he could have gone slower, he probably could have won by more.
goes speed vacation
Just goes to show you that there is so much speed in California, it's like a vacation when you get away from there.
asked bailey bring game jerry mile ran
Jerry Bailey said he didn't bring his 'A' game to the Travers, ... I asked him if he still thought he could get a mile and a quarter, and he said he could if he ran like he did in the Haskell.

You always want to come to the Derby with a good horse. And we're back here now with three really good horses. It feels nice.

We're clicking if he runs that race again.

You like to go into the Derby with a horse that has a chance to win. This horse showed me something ... He really poured it on today.

We knew she was that good when we first started her, but she had some setbacks.

This track was perfect for him. He's a good horse.
