He ran better today than any other time I've ridden him. The pace was quick, which was good for us. Sometimes, when he gets to the last horse, he likes to wait. But today, he just went right by. |
Last time, he took the lead earlier than what I wanted. Today I was expecting to make the lead a little bit later, but he kind of got on the muscle at the three-eighths pole. But he settled a lot better today than the last time. |
The question was whether she could go seven-eighths; she obviously proved she could. She got game and she's a fighter. |
