We want him to take us on a magic carpet ride. We're going to need a big effort.
carpet magic
We want him to take us on a magic carpet ride. If we get to Kentucky, who knows?
beat good lawyer running
I think he'll be running at the end. Will that be good enough to beat Lawyer Ron? I don't know.
eighth fast mile
Like I've said before, I can't get to a mile and an eighth fast enough.
change mapped months planned schedule shoes worked
When we mapped out his schedule two months ago, we planned it so he would have a change of shoes before he worked at Churchill, if he got that far.
horses
When you've got a come-from-behind horse, that's more horses you've got to come through.
thunder track
If the track is muddy, that won't be a problem. I just don't want him out there if there is thunder and lightning.
run
He's going to be a colt that is going to want to run all day.
bad bother good mile regardless track wet
He galloped a mile and a half, as planned. I didn't think the track was that bad when he went. It was wet but it was in good shape. The track is not going to bother us regardless anyway.
handle horse run wants
Going a mile, I didn't know if we could handle everything. Our horse wants to run farther.
crew derby gate problem surprises
He has never been a problem at the gate. I just wanted to familiarize him with the gate crew and the crew with him. I don't want any surprises Derby Day.
days eight galloping gets good halfway morning ready three weeks
This was another good morning and if we gets eight more days just like that, he will be ready to go. He is galloping good and doing good. When I got here, I said I wanted three good weeks and he is halfway there.
hope hoping lawyer longer maybe move pace ron scenario somebody soon works
We're hoping to get a little better pace scenario for us, and that Robby maybe won't have to move as soon with a little longer stretch. Maybe somebody will kind of go with Lawyer Ron the first part. We hope it works out.
Well, he's not a one-dimensional horse. We thought he had to have the lead. Obviously, that's not the case.
