He galloped out strong he came out of it well. He's doing really, really well. I hope he runs well.
More Quotes from Barclay Tagg:
Probably good judgment and good sense would say not to run, but there is only one Kentucky Derby.Barclay Tagg
So far so good -- he's done everything we've asked of him. We've had a couple of setbacks. We wanted to run in the Wood. That was our perfect plan, but it wasn't to be. We considered the Blue Grass April 15, but he needed another week and another breeze. So we decided it was best to wait for this race. We have to win here to make it to the Derby.

I didn't want to bring him back going a mile and one-eighth in the Hal's Hope because there are some hotshots in there who might make him overextend himself, and I didn't want to knock him out. He's really not a six-furlong horse. I would really have preferred to start him at seven furlongs or a mile, but I wanted to get a competitive race under his belt, and whether he wins or loses, it shouldn't exhaust him.

I thought he wasn't going to run and it was going to be a disaster, but Cornelio said he had plenty of horse and he was just cruising. He knew more about him than I did. It's hard to tell through binoculars. He manages to handle things smoothly and he's an absolute pleasure to train.

I'm just happy he showed some life this time. The biggest thing is that he proved he could still run hard from the start and finish strong.

It was a little slower than I wanted him to go, but we just wanted him to stretch his legs. Everything is on go, as long as everything goes well. I'd like to see how he comes out of the workout tomorrow and gallop him on Wednesday before we enter him.
