far forward good horse imagine matter months moving opportunity race ran room seen six time
I thought he ran great. That was his first race in a long time and I can't imagine him not moving forward off of that. As a matter of fact, I think there's a very good opportunity six months from now for us to see a whole lot different horse than what we've seen so far, as far as better. There's just so much room there, racing-wise and maturity-wise for him to get better.
hate horse point start teaching
I think we're at the point now where we need to start teaching this horse some different options. I hate to think he's one-dimensional.
track
I want to see the track do well.
might stalking unless
I think you might see him stalking this time, unless they go 24, 48. If they do that, then he'll be in front.
coming good ground hand hold ready realized seemed spot train work
The idea was to train her and get her ready for the Azeri, but after her work the other day, I realized she is coming to hand way too fast. Then you have concerns: Am I going to have to hold her on the ground for another month? So, this seemed like a good idea and a good spot to get started.
looking time
We're looking at a whole lot of time again.
decided fair fighting losing position
We decided we were fighting a losing battle. It's the right thing to do for the horse. It would not be fair to put him in a competitive position again.
