He's just a big pet. I thought there was room for a lot of improvement going into his last race, so I'm hoping for that on Sunday. |
He's never missed a beat, and he's done a terrific job since. ...Just a great guy: tough, gritty, determined to get things done. |
He's very good right now, ... But I'm never comfortable. I'm only comfortable if I win. It's comfortable having a good horse. That helps. Helps a lot. |
How happy am I? Considering the terrible meet I'm having here, I'd let this horse sleep in my own bed if I had to. Anytime you can get these old timers to come back like this, it's great. |
I just hope they (the owners) consider running him again next year, |
I saw blood on the back of his heel when he came back from his gallop. It's fairly minor, just at a bad time. |
I think she might like it. I think she's better on the grass, but I've got to see. |
I thought he'd finish good and that would set him up for bigger stuff. He may be better now. |
I wasn't too impressed. But he's worked really well since then and I think he'll run his 'A' race. |
I'm sick of him, ... I kept thinking he was not that good. He's pretty freaking good. |
I'm very disappointed. But I've been training a long time, and once you get your senses about you, you're thankful it happened here and not on the track when he could have broken a leg or gotten hurt badly. |
It was a great work, |
It?s fairly minor, just at a bad time, |
It's pretty similar, ... Both are big, strong horses who need a little training to do something like this. Rock Hard Ten is right around 1,200 pounds, I'd guess. |
It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and Saturday it gets pretty deep. So we'll find out. It will tell us what we've got. |
