He broke awkwardly and I fell back farther than I wanted to be. He moved his way around and when I needed the acceleration to go on, he just exploded. |
He was so comfortable. He finished out good, but the other horse drew away from us. Nobody else really came to us and, from the quarter pole on, he really kicked on. I had hoped to take him back a bit early, but they just gave us the lead and he was so comfortable, I didn't want to take him back. He did have a good trip. |
I felt the turf course here was really great. On the far turn, it may have looked like she was really accelerating, but the others were kind of slowing down, so I let her go on a little sooner than I would normally. |
