The Kentucky Derby is all about timing. This horse is getting right at the right time.
It was a risk I wouldn't take if I had it to do over again. But it would have been a one-in-a-million shot if someone had claimed him.
We're on our way. We should get in there around 9:30 or 10 o'clock tonight.
I want to go in the easier of the two.
He did well, but we may bump up the time we go out in the morning because Ernesto said the track was cut up a little bit.
Shipping a few days out has been my way of doing it, but for this race I'd have to think we'd do it a little differently and get him a work over the track.
If he's going well in a few weeks, I would hope we would move on to Louisville. He showed today that he can do whatever we really want him to.
We're here to run, and I think we're going to run well. I've been trying to keep everything the same as it's been. With these horses, you have to travel, and they don't get to run in the same place too many times, so they have to learn to adapt. We try to take everything in stride, and we don't want to change the routine too much.
It definitely changed our strategy. We got a small Derby prep at Laurel, the Miracle Wood Stakes, or we probably wouldn't be here.
