This is the biggest win of my career. |
This is the Cecil Peacock and Brother Derek party. We've got a bunch of friends going and we're going to enjoy it. |
This is what the Derby is all about. |
This makes you look like you can ride and I can train. The good ones will do that. |
We had hoped to get an easy lead, and he relaxed and finished. He's a real racehorse. |
We just have to keep doing what he's been doing and crank him up for the first Saturday in May. |
We knew we didn't have any chance, but it was a good experience. You could even say it's a bigger race now. I imagine there will be a little more attention on us this time around. |
We took a little edge off him and everything looks good. He doesn't require a lot of works. I don't need to work him every five or six days and really pound him. He stays fit on his own. He'll do a little something Wednesday or Thursday and that should be it. |
We'll have to train a little harder now. We'll be training for the toughest race to win in the world. |
We'll take him over to the paddock and school him this afternoon with the fourth race if it isn't raining. |
We're set for the Santa Catalina. He's here, he loves this track, so why leave? |
You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that. |
