concerned david eighth kicked opened pole sure
I was a little concerned we'd get trapped. They all kind of kicked away at the three-eighths pole, and David said that opened it up. I wasn't sure if she'd get them, but at the eighth pole I was more assured.
hanging stick
It's been a while but I've been hanging in there, and you always get something if you can stick it out.
close game good held
(Menino) was outstanding. He held them off pretty good in this game to keep it close for awhile.
came race track
He came out of the race super. He went back to the track and he's pretty keen.
aggressive expected hopefully next race run training
He hasn't done what I expected of him. I've been training him in blinkers. Hopefully that will get him more aggressive. I won't run him in blinkers, but I will in the next race if I don't see him more aggressive this time.
She's pretty young. She hasn't had that many starts.
