If it is my last one, it's a great way to go out.
adaptable certainly future hold needed thinking took turn turned
I took a hold of him to see how much he would turn off, thinking of the future and a mile-and-a-half. He turned off fine. He was certainly there for everything he needed through the stretch. I think he is adaptable to about anything.

He has shown a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff.

I'll ride through Thanksgiving and think about it.

He seems to be a pretty good horse. I'm not ready to crown him a champion yet, but he was pretty impressive.

It's wonderful to do these kinds of races.

You shouldn't dismiss the fact that the post this horse had breaking. He took the worse of it today, and still was very authoritative in winning.

I hate to see Javier come off, but it created a perfect scenario for me.

I didn't get to a spot as early as I needed to. I got blocked and had nowhere to go. I had a feeling it was going to be too little too late.

I was pretty confident all the way around.

The level of productivity and creating material has been phenomenal. It?s just an example of the commitment to partner with different people to educate different kids.
created figure great hate losing perfect scenario though trying
I hate to see Javier come off, but it created a perfect scenario for me. There was more speed, more of a 'rabbit', and it put me in a great spot. Everyone was trying to figure out what he (Disco's Son) was doing, and it put me in the catbird seat. Even though I was losing ground, I was in a great spot.
