last ran ride
I didn't do enough with her after her last race, because she ran so hard. I should have just let him ride Gomez-style. It's my fault.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
beverly bob determined helped horse horses kids lost neat point rest tough
This horse, and the rest of the horses, helped keep Bob going in his fight. For Beverly and Jeff, Point Determined has helped them get through a tough time. The kids lost a dad, Beverly lost a husband. It was a tough day when he died, so it was really neat when this horse won.

He just cruised around there and didn't have to run very hard. It was a good experience. He had to ship up there. And he was wide the whole way.

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.

I remember one time I called him and I said, 'Bob, you sound good. He says, 'Well, unfortunately, there's nothing wrong with my vocal cords.

Silver Charm had the ideal running style. You could put him on the lead, or take back. He was smart and intelligent, a push-button horse to ride.
