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.

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.
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.
