Rodney Cooley Quotations

With Track Boss' early speed I thought she'd go up pretty fast. Along with her speed, she has a lot of grit. She'll take a bump and keep on trying.

Libby's come along slowly but she's getting better and better with each start. She's won her last two, one in Grade AA.

She's so small (59 lbs.) we didn't want her to get hurt or lose confidence so we moved her to the backside. She'll have to run 3/8 to be a star.

She runs just like her daddy - breaks sharp and goes straight to the rail. Her style fits this track. She's a very alert pup and does everything right.

Fox has had three nagging injuries but both are hard trying dogs. Both will be A-AA dogs.

We knew it would take at least a year to build the kennel. We're getting close but we're not there yet. We've had a major facelift, but Cary knows what it takes. He's a winner.

Early speed is the key to her success but she has some bottom. In Grade AA it may be harder for her to come from behind.

After 20 or so starts I think he'll get stronger.

Although she can come from behind, her favorable racing style is out in front. I'd also like to see her in the eight box.

If she gets on top early she's tough.

He can go to the front or come from behind. He's smart too - he'll go inside or go outside, wherever he needs to go to win a race.

He also can go to the front or come from off the pace and beat you. He has the potential to be a high grade dog at Wheeling.

All three are pay sheet dogs and have made a difference in the kennel. They are steady, consistent, hard-trying dogs.
