John McKee Quotations

We appreciate all of the help and support from the community. The parks look great. Everyone did a wonderful job.

She showed a lot of heart today when they challenged her in the stretch.

Mr. Holthus has done a really good job. I had a lot of horse under me. He's a horse that has some tactical speed; he rates real kindly for me.

I can honestly say this is probably one of the best horses I've sat on.

He got real aggressive with me going into the turn. Fortunately enough, there was some room to get through the hole, and he just kind of took over the race. I thought I would be third or fourth, mid-pack. We had to go to Plan B after that.

He's going to handle the distance. Not a problem.

He was real aggressive with me; he's just full of himself right now. On the backside, he just took a hold of the race. He never stopped running.

Those Hall of Fame jockeys, they all worked really hard to get where they got. What we younger riders have to do is persevere to follow in their footsteps.

Bob told me to get off the rail, which I did, when we came out of the first turn. He settled in real nice down the backside. I had three horses up ahead battling, and while it looked like we were losing some ground around the turn, I think the best part of the track was was three or four lanes off the rail ù exactly where Bob wanted to see this horse.

Communication about money issues is among the biggest issues in the workplace. Women were more likely to accept what's offered. Men will push back.

The way he worked the other morning, I tell you, he's just thriving. He's just a monster right now.

Deal with it in an objective fashion -- don't get emotional about it.

I'm excited about it. That's where I want to be. You got some horses on the outside of you, I can dictate the pace. I can do whatever I want, but I think the ideal is sitting right off the pace and letting the horse finish.

I have no idea what to expect. He's been off for a while.

In the stretch I was a little concerned and hit him a couple times and he just took off and I was like, 'Wow!

In the stretch he really kicked it in and gave me a big move.

I just sat on him, and he was completely relaxed. He was a lot more professional.

I just followed instructions, he did the rest.

He's starting to round into form, and he's starting to progress. He's going really good right now.

He ran his race on the turf but he never finished up. Put him on the dirt and he's just a different animal. He's more on the ball.

This horse is training like a monster right now - Lawyer Ron. I tell ya, they're going to have to run their race to beat us.
