Everyone was trying to figure out what Disco's Sun was doing, and it put me in the catbird seat. |
Guess I went out with a bang. |
He broke to the right and continued that way for three or four jumps until I could reel him in. |
He has shown a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff. |
He seems to be a pretty good horse. I'm not ready to crown him a champion yet, but he was pretty impressive. |
He shook loose at the top of the stretch, but that was the second time he lugged in. But he's young, and we hope it's just a learning process. He has shown he has a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff. But he is very unique, and part of the reason is because he has a whole lot of ones (victories). |
He was the most genuine, charismatic horse I've been on in my life. |
He's immensely talented, but I haven't even thought about that, ... I'm not going to let one horse here or there determine that. I'm just going to get through the Breeders' Cup, and in November, I'll sit down and think about it. |
He's the best 2-year-old I've ever been on. You dream about a horse like this coming along. |
He?s been one of the best ideas the education department has had in a long time. He?s very bright. |
I didn't get into this game because I loved horses. But when I found Cigar I came to love horses. He was so genuine, so charismatic. |
I didn't get to a spot as early as I needed to. I got blocked and had nowhere to go. I had a feeling it was going to be too little too late. |
I didn't think I had a chance to hit the board. |
I don't think he needed the rabbits. You just don't want to gut him chasing a horse today with $4 million on the line six weeks from now. |
I don't think you can expect those explosions you get in shorter races. It's more of a long, grueling type of racing. |
