easy exciting last nice race races settle taxing watch workouts
I'd like a nice easy race out of him. I don't need a taxing one. We wanted to settle him down between races this time. His last two workouts were phenomenal, and it's really exciting to watch 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.
crown genius gotten horses nice reserved special thrown triple winners
Special? Now that is a big word, like genius. It should not be thrown around. Special should be reserved for Triple Crown winners and horses like Spectacular Bid. (Brother Derek) is a very nice horse and he has gotten better and better.
easy enjoy fun horse media nice santa taxing
It's fun , all the media and hype, but we have a nice horse here, and we're going to enjoy the Santa Catalina. I'd like it to be a nice, easy race, not a taxing race.

You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that.

We had hoped to get an easy lead, and he relaxed and finished. He's a real racehorse.

I think this is a very deep, talented group.

I might be more excited if the gray horse won this time.

It barely broke the skin. He just took a little bit of hair off.

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.
everybody horse knows sent style wants
If a horse wants to be sent out there and be ridiculous, let him. We'll be close. Everybody knows what our style is.
