barn came expect good horse impressive race run winner
The winner is very impressive and a very great-looking horse that we thought would win if we didn't. I didn't expect to run third, but he did gallop out well after the race and came back to the barn in very good shape.
goal races ultimate win worth
We need races in between what your ultimate goal is. If he can win on Saturday, it makes the ultimate goal worth pursuing.
fast horses run taking
I'm not taking anything away from any horse. What I don't like to do is run two really fast horses in the same race. Each horse should have his own chance, or you shouldn't run him.
afternoon bad good run work
He's never been a good work horse. It's been very frustrating, but that's him. Fortunately, in the afternoon he's never run a bad race.
absolute chance derby good guy repeatedly run unless win
I told him many times that I think this is a pretty good colt, but he is the kind of guy who doesn't get excited. He said, 'We'll see, we'll see.' He has told me repeatedly that he doesn't want to run in the Derby unless he has an absolute chance to win it.
chance hope horses
They've only had a three-horse dead-heat once, so you can't hope for that. I just want all of the horses to have their own chance to win.
absolutely bothers lost rare reminds
Absolutely nothing bothers him, and that's a pretty rare thing. He reminds me a lot of Lost in the Fog; he has the same kind of temperament.
good hopefully horse indicate lead needs punch stay sunshine today
This horse is good right now, and hopefully he'll stay good for the Sunshine Millions. I don't think he needs the lead, and today would indicate that. He probably won't get the lead in the Sunshine Millions, but today would indicate that he could punch it in from anywhere.
fallen road
The Derby, on the road to this thing, there are many fallen warriors. I'm not the only one.
came looked raider shadow win
It looked like Shadow Raider was going easy. I thought Shadow Raider was going to win it, but 'Dream came running.
winning wire rodeo
I thought she was going to win it, she just got out-bobbed at the wire.
against came decision deeper determine either kentucky obstacles overcome pace settle winner
We'll let things settle out and see if we can make an intelligent decision on what we should do. I'm not going to say either way because I didn't like how the pace came up today. It was a deeper track, too, and the winner was used to that kind of track, but if you go to the Kentucky Derby, you have to overcome obstacles like that. Opportunities don't come very often to be in America's race. We'd like to be in it, but if we determine that there are too many things against us, we won't do it.
best seems seen
I don't think we've seen the best of him yet. He seems to be improving.
believe california derby guess illinois last looking missed next past race since time
He hasn't missed any time at all since his last race. If he does well on Saturday, I'd guess the Illinois Derby could be next but, believe me, we're not looking past the California Derby.
