few last next saturday sunday week work
He did it just about like the last few weeks. We'll come back next week with a three-quarters or so work Saturday or Sunday and we're all set.
alex coming francisco friday morning rest stay works
He will gallop Friday morning and when he works on Monday, Alex Solis will be there for the work. Luis Ortega is coming for the first part and will stay through the work and then Francisco Alvarado will be here for the rest of the week.
alex closer fractions horse knows rode soft stevie worked
The fractions were a little soft and I thought Stevie was a little closer than I wanted him to be but it worked out. Alex had a lot of horse. He knows the horse and he rode him perfect.
fresh full worked
He's fresh and full of himself. It worked out just the way we wanted. It was a non-taxing race, and he did it in racehorse time.
bed fighting horse hospital lying puts race time
Lying in a hospital bed, I had a lot of time to think about everything. When you look at a horse race and you look at the fighting in Iraq, it puts things into perspective.
advancing fresh hope horse needs race seems
Everything with the horse seems to be right where we want it to be. He's fresh and going into the race with what I hope is a lot more in reserve. He seems to be advancing -- and he needs to.
crop stalking
It's just this crop. It's a competitive crop with front-runners and stalking types. It'll be interesting.
horses proved totally
If it were two turns, that would have been totally different. I know that he's a two-turn horse. He proved it today.
easy mapped race
If I could have mapped it out, he couldn't have done any better. It was a nice, easy race on him and he did it in racehorse time.
excited gray horse might won
I might be more excited if the gray horse won this time.
next work
After his work next week, he'll be pretty much set for the race.
hope horse keeps
You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that.
crank saturday
We just have to keep doing what he's been doing and crank him up for the first Saturday in May.
edge turns twice
The only edge I know is I've been around turns twice and he hasn't.
