Bob Holthus Kentucky Quotations

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 doesn't have to win this to go to the Kentucky Derby, but you would like to go there on a winning note, that's for sure.

He flies to Kentucky Monday morning. Odds for the Kentucky Derby? I think he will be no worse than second choice. Of course, I might have a bias.

We race in the midwest and we don't get as much respect. We've been racing here for over 50 years, I'm pretty used to that. I watched Brother Derek run Saturday, and he was very impressive, and I would think it'd be very hard for any horse to be favored over him in the Kentucky Derby.

I'm very happy with the draw. If Lawyer Ron could win this, he'd be one of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby. It's your lifelong dream.

If you lined up Lawyer Ron and Red Raymond and had to choose which one would win the Kentucky Derby, it would be Red Raymond. He's a good-looking horse.

He said absolutely that he didn't want to sell him. Right now the kids are following their dad's wishes. I'm sure they will keep him through the Kentucky Derby and then if he gets that far, they'll have some decisions to make.
