dynamite good horse kept race ran stayed stride
My horse did everything right other than he didn't win. He ran a dynamite race off the bench, which isn't a given. His stride was good at the end. He stayed on and kept fighting, which was a good sign.
coming good horse ran satisfied sharp
I was satisfied with the way my horse ran coming off the bench. He was good and sharp ... he just couldn't get to the other horse.
breeze couple fountain good next
If the next breeze is good, he comes out of it okay, and he has a couple of good weeks, we'll probably go to the Fountain of Youth.
gets good
He's about as good as it gets for 2-year-olds.
area good gray horse improve key physically reason strong
There's a little gray area there. But physically he's a big, strong horse and he'll relax. The good ones improve from 2 to 3. That's the key to any of them, and I see no reason to think he won't.
bring fine gate good next pop ready sure three
Most trainers have a style. When you haven't raced in three months, in my opinion, I think it's a good idea to pop them out of the gate before you bring them back. Now I know he's doing fine right now. I'm sure that we'll be ready to try next week.
bench came fast good horse last missed race ran sharp since start worked
I thought he worked well. I think he came out of his last race as good as a horse could come out of a race like that, especially considering it was his first start off the bench and they ran fast over a fast racetrack. He hasn't missed an oat and has been very sharp since the race.
derby plan sure
Things just didn't go well for him today. I'm sure we'll go to Plan B, which would probably be off the Derby trail.
broke except horse rode sharp shot supposed took
He did everything right except win. He broke sharp and (Prado) rode him like he was supposed to. He let the horse (Keyed Entry) go on and took a shot and just couldn't get to him.
fair mile run
I just didn't think it was fair to run him a mile and one-eighth right off the bat.
brilliant filled gotten
He was a brilliant 2-year-old in my opinion. He's a bigger-looking colt, and he's done better at 3. He's filled out more and he's gotten taller.
buying hopefully keeps mile quarter
He's bigger. He's always been a good-sized colt. Hopefully he can go a mile and a quarter if he keeps buying his ticket.
himself last picked start taken
I had him gelded after his last start and it's taken him a while to get over that. He's doing well and has some talent, but he has to get himself back into the game. I've got nothing picked out for him just yet.
action hurts problem school turn walking
He didn't turn a hair, and there was a lot of action going on in there at the time, especially around the walking ring. He's never usually much of a problem in the paddock, but it never hurts to school just a bit.
