Jeff Smith Gap Quotations

Steve said he ran out of running rail where the gap appeared, otherwise it would have been easier and, in my view, that was a good performance beating horses like Asset and Close To You.

We need to narrow that gap between our fourth and fifth runner, and having said that, I think the kids gave 100 percent on an unbelievably tough course. This is almost a ridiculously hard course, one of the toughest courses we'll see all year. We really ran pretty well, and the runners gave in everything they had and left it all out there.

The thing that killed us is our fifth runner. We're waiting over a 1:40 between our fourth and fifth runner. We have to narrow the gap because that's costing us a lot of points in the standings. We're looking for a fifth runner to step up and pull us through.
