We thought with his speed, coming here, he's extremely fast, and Garrett worked him the other day and he was pretty impressed with the way he worked. He worked awesome. If you want to find out if you belong in the Derby, run against the big boys. |
We went a little fast early. I'm just getting to know the horse, and we need to get him to relax a little bit. He showed some determination in the stretch, and I think we can improve off that. We are running against the best two-year-olds in the country, so I am pleased. Hopefully, he comes back in great shape. He's got a good future ahead of him and we're going to take our time with him. |
We're clicking if he runs that race again. |
We're just glad he's a fast son of a gun. |
We're on the Lost in the Fog trail. |
When he hit the wire, his ears went up and he wanted to shut down. He's still immature. |
When I saw 22, I thought that wasn't bad. I didn't want to see 21. She's so fast. |
When the prince died, the horses were like orphans. But these horses, they're like family. And to have a horse who might be a Kentucky Derby contender, that's the best medicine. |
When you've got a 20-horse field and a fast pace, anything can happen out there. |
With Forestry, finally the light came on. He became a good horse and reeled off five in a row. |
You always want to come to the Derby with a good horse. And we're back here now with three really good horses. It feels nice. |
You can't say never. You have to wait until you see all the (Kentucky Derby) preps. Brother Derek is exceptional but right now it's not out of the question. We've got to look at the whole picture. A whole lot happens between now and then. |
You can't say never. You have to wait until you see all the [Kentucky Derby] preps. |
You don't want to sit on them too long. |
You like to go into the Derby with a horse that has a chance to win. This horse showed me something ... He really poured it on today. |
