Edgar said she handled everything beautifully. He was very impressed with everything but the last four jumps. I'm not discouraged. It's January. We need to go on and develop this filly through the spring and get her a little bit tighter next time. |
He was the prototype for what we're all looking for. He represented the jockey colony with so much dignity and class. He was always politically correct and always said the right things. |
He'll put up with you for a little while, but then he wants to kick and play. |
I feel comfortable about putting her in there. It will be a tougher race but I think she'll be effective at a mile. We'll see. |
I had a gut feeling that Dance Daily was coming up to it very well. I felt that she would make a little bit of noise in the race. She did. |
I never dreamed I would be here after I got into coaching. I didn't do very good at that. |
I think he'll like it a little better at 6 1/2 furlongs, seven, or a mile. He's improving. He's a Storm Cat, so he's had a few attitude issues. |
In Folklore's defense, she's coming off a long layoff. I think she got a little late there on the end. But she'll be back. We'll build off that. I'm not too concerned. |
It's a little unsettling, to put a mud caulk on and then have nothing, but it doesn't look like it took away any of his foot. |
She didn't like the off-track the first time. I think she just runs better on the dry track. |
There's a changing of the guard. Somebody has a heck of an opportunity to step forward. |
This one looks like he's ready to finish the deal. |
When you win one on this day, they become special ones and they get a special place in the barn. We've been blessed with some good ones. |
