There are a lot of complicated estate tax matters to consider but I think the children are going to keep Lawyer Ron, at least through the Kentucky Derby. Mr. Hines absolutely didn't want to sell this horse. This was his Derby horse. |
This horse, I think he has much more talent than any other horse I've brought here. |
Tomorrow, he will probably go two miles because he was pretty full of himself this morning. |
We don't have to do a whole lot with him. We feel we're in pretty good shape. |
We race in the midwest and we don't get as much respect. We've been racing here for over 50 years, I'm pretty used to that. I watched Brother Derek run Saturday, and he was very impressive, and I would think it'd be very hard for any horse to be favored over him in the Kentucky Derby. |
When you put up a million-dollar purse, naturally, you're going to try to win it. |
With Red Raymond, post position doesn't matter a lot. I just hope he can get a clean trip when he's ready to run. |
You run each race in a different way. The first time we ran here, we felt he could go to the lead and still beat them, which he did. A lot of people, I think, thought that that's the way he had to run. But it's definitely not. You can do about anything you want with him. He's a pretty kind horse. |
