He took a very big step forward. |
I really think the race before (an allowance victory) was when he the light bulb went on, where he actually showed a middle-move acceleration, like he was getting it all figured out. I said six weeks ago I didn't feel like I could get to a mile and an eighth fast enough. Our main goal is still the Arkansas Derby and beyond. |
I think if we run big (tomorrow), we'll be a horse that's a live shot. We may be a long shot -- but a live long shot come the first Saturday in May. |
I've been waiting two months to get to this race. I've been saying the mile and an eighth can't get here fast enough for this horse. |
The further we run I think the better this colt is going to get. |
Three weeks is not that long. When my wife (Sandra) comes Tuesday we're moving to a hotel. |
We just need to let our horse run his race and not worry about what anybody else is doing. At some point, you have to believe Lawyer Ron is not going to run out of the bridle. |
We're not born to be wild, but we want him to take us on a magic carpet ride. |
We've been a little bit of a victim of (Lawyer Ron) being as spectacular as he's been and us almost being forced to play his game. We've chased a little bit, and I think that has maybe worked against us. |
