Ken McCarthy Belonged Quotations

Obviously this was a big step up going from a maiden win right into a graded stakes but I think Bill had a lot of confidence in him and felt he truly belonged here. He still looks like he might have a few things to learn, he was kind of trying to run up on the leaders a little bit, but Edgar said when the hole opened up he had a lot of acceleration.

Obviously, off that last race (when he broke his maiden on February 17) it was a very nice race for him. Today was a big step up, but we had a lot of confidence in him and thought he belonged in here. He's still got a little bit to learn, but Edgar said that when that hole opened up along the rail he showed a lot of acceleration.
