I don't think the competition is as good. ... If he can duplicate his Wood Memorial, you'll see what kind of horse he is.
ahead derby easier either far horses kentucky line looking mine rest saturday small step top year
In a way it will be easier on me this year being the underdog, because there is no pressure. It's a small line from here when looking ahead to the Kentucky Derby. Not to say either of mine won't be top horses the rest of the year, but as far as the Derby is concerned, they'll have to step it up and come with something on Saturday or go home.

She deserved this because she's run well in big races but had some tough luck. Today she broke good and was a different filly.

I salute the winner, and Johnny rode a tremendous race. My jock rode a great race, too. I want to take care of this horse as well as I possibly can, because he gave his guts for us. They had to run to beat this horse today. I've got a real treasure in Bellamy Road.

We'll see who develops. That's what I'm hoping for.

You have to be excited about Great Point. He ran a great race and you just hope he keeps going forward and comes around.

We're going to see where we're at on March 4. The unfortunate thing is we might not see what we want to see, and the fortunate thing is at least it ain't May 4.
