hard horse proud tried
My horse tried real hard and I was very proud of him.
bumped coming finished happy hard lost worse
I never wanted to be worse than third, but he got bumped pretty hard coming out of the gate. We lost a little positioning after that. I was happy with the race. He still finished up well.
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.
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.
break followed humor humorous saw sharp
I saw Sharp Humor break sharp so I just followed him.
couple fog hoping horses lost race
Why shouldn't Lost in the Fog be the even-money favorite? ... He is 10-for-10. But I'm hoping that they all soften him up for me. There are a couple of horses in the race with a lot of speed.
anyone full run step
I don't think anyone was going to go by her. She was full of run every step of the way.
anywhere class fog horses lost puts rode speed starting talent
He showed a lot of talent and class that day. Lost in the Fog has a lot of speed and you can place him anywhere you want. In the stretch, he puts horses away. And when I rode him, he just was starting to rise.
ability horse strong tons
He's a very strong horse with tons of ability.
ride
He loped a little when he made the lead. I had to ride him at the end, but I wasn't all over him.
changed horse
Everything changed when that horse stumbled out of the gate.
aggressive left ran
She ran really well in Florida. She was very aggressive out of the gate, on the bit, but she had enough left in the tank.
gaining good horse position quicker
She was in a good position but (Proposed) had quicker acceleration than my filly. I think that was the difference. But my horse was gaining and she galloped out good and strong.
again horses nice scary
Other horses could 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.
