Jerry Hollendorfer Derby Quotations

Neither of the owners wants to run in the Derby if he doesn't have a chance.

He hasn't missed any time at all since his last race. If he does well on Saturday, I'd guess the Illinois Derby could be next but, believe me, we're not looking past the California Derby.

He is in Hawaii and listened to the race on the cell phone. I'm sure he can be persuaded to consider going for the Derby after such a good win.

That could very well change. I'm sure he could be persuaded one way or another. The kind of people who rate horses had him at 20-to-1 (in the Kentucky Derby Future Pool).

I told him many times that I think this is a pretty good colt, but he is the kind of guy who doesn't get excited. He said, 'We'll see, we'll see.' He has told me repeatedly that he doesn't want to run in the Derby unless he has an absolute chance to win it.
