bit came concerned earlier fast heavy home struggled surprise
I was concerned with him lugging in there and 'would he rate'? He struggled a bit with the track, but it didn't surprise me. He is a big, heavy horse. He came home a little slow, but they went pretty fast in the earlier part.
walk
I want to walk away in one piece.
asked good lack lined looked month people sale worked
I'm not really surprised. If you had asked me a month ago, I would have said I didn't have those expectations, but it all worked out and as people lined up on the horse, he looked like he could potentially be a sale topper. You don't know before you come to the sale what's going to happen, but he's been as good as we've had all year. It was a lack of nothing wrong. He just did everything right. There were no problems.
great last
If this is my last Breeders' Cup, it's a great way to go out.
came cigar found game horses loved
I didn't get into this game because I loved horses. But when I found Cigar I came to love horses. He was so genuine, so charismatic.
best department education ideas
He?s been one of the best ideas the education department has had in a long time. He?s very bright.
close cup dubai olympian pinpoint race united victory
If I had to pinpoint a race for me, it would be the Dubai World Cup with Cigar. Not only was it a victory for me, but I was representing the United States. It was as close to being an Olympian as I could probably ever be.
