John Shirreffs Worked Quotations

He worked very well. He's always trained well. I think he's a pretty fit horse. I'm just trying to keep him there.

He went well, nice and even. It's a little early to say if he will make the San Fernando. There could be other options. This was only his first six-furlong work. He had worked four times at a half-mile, so he was ready to go an easy six.

He's worked very well, except for his last one, when he went slow by himself. When he goes by himself, he's a little on the lazy side.

Giacomo as a two-year-old was a little immature physically. So we just -- we couldn't, you know, push him too hard until he physically developed a little more. Everything sort of snapped into place for him before the Santa Anita Derby. He came out of the Santa Anita Derby so well. Then he worked really well for the Kentucky Derby. So, you know, really felt good about that.

He wasn't blowing at all. The only reason I had someone in the work with him is because he's so lazy. When he worked alone, he went in 1:17.
