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 asking change eighth faster finished last looked work
The work was great. It was a little faster than I wanted, but he did it easy, so it was fine. He couldn't have looked any better. He went off the first eighth easily, and he finished his last eighth in 11 and change without Alex even asking him.
alex broke easy happy looks nice picked work
The work was fine. He broke off nice and easy and then picked it up and cruised on home. Alex was happy with the work. He never looks like he is doing anything because he does it so easy.
alex good ill position
It's a good position to see what everyone is going to do. Ill let Alex make the right decision.
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.
hope horse keeps
You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that.
easy hoped relaxed
We had hoped to get an easy lead, and he relaxed and finished. He's a real racehorse.
talented
I think this is a very deep, talented group.
excited gray horse might won
I might be more excited if the gray horse won this time.
barely bit broke hair took
It barely broke the skin. He just took a little bit of hair off.
pound
I won't take him off for a pound or two.
afternoon fourth race school
We'll take him over to the paddock and school him this afternoon with the fourth race if it isn't raining.
attention bigger good imagine knew race time
We knew we didn't have any chance, but it was a good experience. You could even say it's a bigger race now. I imagine there will be a little more attention on us this time around.
edge turns twice
The only edge I know is I've been around turns twice and he hasn't.
