Everything changed when that horse stumbled out of the gate. |
He broke down behind. We were fourth at the time and I tried to pull him out so he didn't go down in the middle of the field. |
He broke great and sat behind the leaders. That hole opened up, and he got right through it and kicked on very strongly. |
He loped a little when he made the lead. I had to ride him at the end, but I wasn't all over him. |
He ran good, and it's not his best distance. He was right there with the pace, every step of the way. |
He showed a lot of talent and class that day. Lost in the Fog has a lot of speed and you can place him anywhere you want. In the stretch, he puts horses away. And when I rode him, he just was starting to rise. |
He's a very strong horse with tons of ability. |
He's the best horse in the race, and I don't think I should be worried. I mean, he's training super. He's doing great. We just have to find out how well he will handle a fast track, and I think he will do that fine. |
Hopefully he's back. He broke sharp and was right with those horses from the go. ... He never gave up. I was very happy with his race. |
I don't think anyone was going to go by her. She was full of run every step of the way. |
I never wanted to be worse than third, but he got bumped pretty hard coming out of the gate. We lost a little positioning after that. I was happy with the race. He still finished up well. |
I saw Sharp Humor break sharp so I just followed him. |
I think the stewards did a good job. His horse (Javier Castellano on Corinthian) was supposed to maintain a straight course. |
I was a very, very, happy passenger. |
I've got a better feeling for him now. He's easy to ride, and I think we can get him to relax going 1 1/8 miles. |
