broke gave happy hopefully horses sharp
Hopefully he's back. He broke sharp and was right with those horses from the go. ... He never gave up. I was very happy with his race.
behind broke great hole kicked leaders-and-leadership opened sat
He broke great and sat behind the leaders. That hole opened up, and he got right through it and kicked on very strongly.
broke fourth middle pull time tried
He broke down behind. We were fourth at the time and I tried to pull him out so he didn't go down in the middle of the field.
best ran step
He ran good, and it's not his best distance. He was right there with the pace, every step of the way.
easy hard hold nice pulled took
They let me go nice and easy and I took it. She pulled real hard and was able to hold on.
easy feeling relax
I've got a better feeling for him now. He's easy to ride, and I think we can get him to relax going 1 1/8 miles.
gave great horses outside race worked
It worked out great for me. The other horses in the race all had the speed. So I just waited, and when I went outside in the stretch, she gave me another gear.
exact gate gave good ran running wayne worked
It worked out beautifully. Wayne gave me exact instructions to come running out of the gate but give her a little breather on the backside. She ran a good race.
advantage asked horse kicked race speed took
This horse was the only speed in the race, and I took advantage of it. When I asked him, he kicked it in strong.
again broke felt himself hit horses left mind nice perfect plenty scary step super trip turning waiting
It was a super trip all the way around. He broke so well, and put himself in perfect position. I felt comfortable every step of the way. Other horses would come to him, and he would just take off again ... a really nice ride, and he did it easy, and that's the scary part. Turning for home, I hit him to get his mind on business, but he was just waiting for me to tell him what to do. There is plenty left in that tank.
good horse maintain straight supposed
I think the stewards did a good job. His horse (Javier Castellano on Corinthian) was supposed to maintain a straight course.
against control great race run start wonder
She was in control of the race from the beginning. It was great for her first start back. She had run against Intercontinental and Wonder Again (last year).
came front good last races ran run super tough year
She can run on the front or come from behind. She ran some tough races last year and she came back real good this year. There's a long year ahead, and she just did a super job.
best came gave happy hard trying
This was not his best distance, but he was trying hard the whole way. He galloped out real strong, and he came back really strong. I think he's back. He never gave up. I'm very happy with his effort.
