beaten finishing last race races ran seem work
Races at a mile-and-three-eighths to a mile-and-a-half seem to work out well for him. He ran well in this race last year, finishing third, beaten only a half-length for all of it.
inner worked
Speed, inside, inner track, all worked in our favor.
hole run sure tough
That 10 hole is tough but to run as well as he did is really something. We didn't win, but we sure got close.
grade race six tough wide
It's tough to be 7-5 in a Grade 1 race and get that kind of trip, to be six wide like he was.
hope
That's the least of our worries. He's our friend, and we just hope he's OK.
backing dash doubt hopefully mad matter quickly running several
No doubt there will be a mad dash at the start, but for us it's a matter of how quickly some of them stop. There will be several of them backing up at the 3/8th pole, and hopefully they don't get in our way when we're running from the back.
bull fit gray great holy mike ride son
We just thought it was a great fit for Mike to ride a gray son of Holy Bull if we get in.
against caliber forward four happy looking looks mile previous quarter running style sure three today
We're happy, very happy. We were very happy that he was able to close, that's his style. Fernando has been on him his previous three or four races, and he always comes running late. So, we were happy that he showed that same run today again, especially against this caliber of horse. It looks like he will like a mile and a quarter and we are sure looking forward to the opportunity.
