Midway down the backside I nudged him a little and thought I'd give him a little encouragement and he picked it up pretty good. It was just a matter if I could have found any room for him because he had a little momentum and I didn't want to get him stopped.
I was very surprised in the way he won last time out, because when I rode him he came from way back. He showed another dimension.
t was a little bit difficult doing it but he kinda managed to bull his way through there and get ahead of them.
The trip worked out great. Once he got covered up, he relaxed really nice. Going into the second turn, he drug me up to where I wanted to be. I got after him about the eighth pole, and he must have heard horses coming up on him after that, because he found another gear.
It was a matter of whether I could find any room for him. I didn't want to get him stopped.
It was just a matter if I could have found any room for him (when splitting horses). He had a little momentum and I didn't want to get him stopped.
