Bruce Lunsford Quotations

No one's going to have more fun than we are going to have. This horse's peak will either be this race or the next one.

I think it's going to be a great prep. We've had a tremendous time with this horse and nobody is going to have more fun then we're going to have on this odyssey.

We're not interested. If this horse would get injured tomorrow, I'd lose a few nights' sleep that I didn't take the money. But if I watch the horse win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile or the Kentucky Derby in somebody else's silks, I might lose sleep the rest of my life.

We've got to compete here. He's got to outrun Point Determined, right?

This is the best time of the year.

At least we can look at them, and we shouldn't have any excuses.

It's exciting and we're having a lot of fun.

It's a 'What have you done for me lately?' game. He's got to show he's got what it takes to be a Derby winner.

I never thought I could get another horse who would get me as excited to the level as Madcap. And this horse is starting to do that. It's been an interesting summer: One door closes and the other one opens.

In our discussions with Transitional, we were impressed with the quality of its operations and the strategic potential of our combined company.

I like to see a guy ride with confidence. He is competitive, and he has shown the ability to travel and compete everywhere he goes. And probably the guy I respected as a rider the most over the years -- Bailey -- told me he is the best young rider out there.

I don't think he's going to be at 100 percent making his first race after three months. He shouldn't be at his sharpest, nor would you want him to be.
