I was so excited (when Brass Hat had the lead in the deep stretch). He was proving he's one of the best in the world.
He doesn't normally work that fast. He's doing great.
It can't get here soon enough for me. I'm ready to go right now. The horse is ready to go right now. I don't want to wait two more days.
We thought this horse would run over anything. We believed he could run up I-95 or go through the snow.
We just wanted to give him something easy, a chance to stretch his legs before he gets on the plane tomorrow night. He's not much of a work horse anyway. I'll stay to watch him get on the plane, and then I'll fly back to Lexington and leave for Dubai Saturday night.
I've seen him run both ways. I don't know how much pace there will be. If it's strong, he can be further back. Willie knows him and he has confidence in him. He's been off the pace in a slow race.
They said anything outside of 5 would be good. I think it's a good spot.
It's the chance of a lifetime. When you've got a horse like this, you've got to try.
It's been a pleasant surprise to us. We thought he'd come back good and strong, but you never know. Everything worked out really well.
Dale said it was a benefit to work under the lights. You run for $6 million, you want to be prepared for it. You don't want any surprises.
Dad's a trip, a true one-of-a-kind. He really was doing all those things at once. When I was still living at home into my early 20's, his office was above my room, and I'd hear him up there working at 2 a.m. He hardly ever slept.
I figure he can give me the most insight into how to go about this.
