He galloped out pretty strong. He felt good when he came back. He was playing around the barn. It didn't take too much out of him.

He's the most talented horse I've had at this stage in his career.

221

I think this is a big accomplishment. Everything went about as well as we planned. Once he made his move, he pretty much had it made.

I'm kind of surprised there are no shippers. But I don't think my horse scared them away. Everyone is looking for graded-stakes winnings these days. If the Southwest was graded, you can bet they'd be coming out of the woodwork.

He's just progressively got better. He's improving every day. We don't know for sure where he's going to stop, but we hope that he's got a lot more left.

We don't have to do a whole lot with him. We feel we're in pretty good shape.

There are a lot of complicated estate tax matters to consider but I think the children are going to keep Lawyer Ron, at least through the Kentucky Derby. Mr. Hines absolutely didn't want to sell this horse. This was his Derby horse.

He always breaks well, and he's going to be close to the lead if he's not on the lead.

He ran a great race that day. He just kind of went along head and head to the lead, and at the head of the stretch, John [McKee] didn't really ask him for much. John crossed his reins on him, and he just drew off. It was a pretty impressive race.
