I think he's going to be better this year; he's more mature. In the past, he was a young horse and a little aggressive, but now he's matured. I had him relaxed all the way around and when I hit the three-eighths pole I had planned on making my move then. The best thing about him is when he goes long, he has that nice, good cruising speed. |
I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his own running. At the quarter pole, he was flying, so I had to swing him out into the clear, and he got the job done. |
I'm real impressed with how he handled everything that happened. He really inspires us on the backside because he kept such a positive attitude. He's been a great leader. |
If he was only 90 percent, that's mighty exciting. |
If you put a rabbit in front of him, I truly believe he'll settle. He's a very smart horse. You can do anything with him. |
It was like he was asleep. He was so relaxed. I let him run a little at the half-mile, and then again at the three-eighths. |
It was very amazing. Every week that goes by, he keeps amazing me more and more. |
It's mind-boggling. He's stronger from the last time I worked him. |
It's very amazing to think how much every race that he runs and every week that goes by how much stronger and better he's getting. |
My horse heard him and took off running. I said, 'God, this is incredible.' It's amazing a horse can carry that kind of speed. |
She stumbled a little bit (at the start) and was lugging out a little bit the whole way. Hopefully, she pulled up OK. |
This horse is a monster. Just incredible. He keeps impressing me more and more each race he runs. |
What a pro he is. |
What a pro he is. He broke real sharp and placed himself. Right before the turn I just wanted to let [Latent Heat] go. All that worked out well. We're wanting to get him to relax a little bit more. He can do it. |
When we made it to the turn I looked down inside and didn't see any room there. So I went out and she was much the best. I sure like her. |
