He's just progressively got better. He's improving every day. We don't know for sure where he's going to stop, but we hope that he's got a lot more left. |
He's the most talented horse I've had at this stage in his career. |
His desire was to breed horses, and he did a very good job of it. |
His goal was to breed a good horse and he accomplished it. He enjoyed this horse. |
I don't think an off-track would bother him. |
I really didn't want [post ] 1 and I sure didn't want 14. I wanted him somewhere in the middle. I think he got an excellent post. |
I think everybody in the grandstand wished me luck. I was glad he was able to uphold his standing and didn't disappoint anybody. |
I think he's matured physically. He was kind of an immature colt when we first started racing him. It seems like around the first of December, he's just turned into a man. He really developed. He's a beautiful animal now. And he's probably 75 to 100 pounds heavier than he was the first of December. And with all of his racing and training he's had, that's kind of remarkable. |
I think this is a big accomplishment. Everything went about as well as we planned. Once he made his move, he pretty much had it made. |
I think trainers and owners have found that Arkansas is a pretty good place to keep a horse in the wintertime. People would like to be in Florida, but I really think horses do well here in the winter. |
I think you'll see a little different race out of him. |
I thought he did a super job. He's got a lot of confidence in the horse. |
I'd like to lay third or fourth, three or four lengths off the lead. |
I'd like to sit behind two or three horses not far out of contention. He has tactical speed. You can put him where he needs to be. |
I'm glad Lawyer Ron didn't disappoint the people. It was a little tight on the first turn. But once he made the lead, I was confident, even though there were still 5 furlongs to run. |
