florida good needed worked
No question, of all the 3-year-olds I had he needed it the most. He's working unbelievable. He's worked as good as he worked for the Florida Derby.
great horses left
They are the only two horses left standing. It's great to have a rematch. It should be a lot of fun.
arrogant awful beginnings came enjoyed ground guy humble people scene success taken time work
Some people may have taken him for being arrogant or whatever, but there were an awful lot of people who enjoyed his style. He came from humble beginnings and he came on the scene at a time when he showed the world that the little guy, the guy who had to work from the ground up, could be a success in this business.
chance distance sun win
This is a chance to see what Sun King's distance limitations are. Let's get it over with. If he won't go that far, we'll just back him up and win the Metropolitan.
anybody love
I love my jockey. Put it this way, if anybody can (relax the horse), he can.
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.
situation thankful trying
I'm just thankful to be in a situation that at least we can try. And we're trying.
broke guess kept law ready reputation rooting
I guess it's the law of averages. We had the reputation for getting 3-year-olds ready and everyone kept rooting for us but we never broke through.
angels surrounded
I'm surrounded by angels when I come back here.
happy hope
I'll be happy to have just one, but I hope I have more.
enjoying kentucky spectator
I'll be enjoying it. I'll just be a spectator and appreciative of the Kentucky Derby.
feeling
I had a feeling that's how he had to win.
duplicate horse wood
Hopefully, if he can duplicate the Wood Memorial, you'll see what kind of horse he is.
ability amazing gotten taller
He's an amazing horse. 'He's gotten taller and longer. He's got the ability.
