It was a super trip all the way around. He broke so well, and put himself in perfect position. I felt comfortable every step of the way. Other horses would come to him, and he would just take off again ... a really nice ride, and he did it easy, and that's the scary part.

It's been a great day's selling. I may have liked the clearance rate to be a little higher, but over 80% (clearance) is still a wonderful result and a few more of today's passed in (bought back) horses will be sold over the next few days I'm sure.

It's because I have no sense of shame that I'm always willing to give things a go: I've ridden horses naked into the sea, I've climbed rocks, all kinds of things.

It's part of horse racing you never really get used to, ... These horses are like our children, so when something happens like that it's pretty devastating for everybody involved. When it's unexpected like that, it makes it worse.

It's nice to come back to a course you've had some success on. It fits my eye. Horses for courses, isn't that what they say?

That gives you some idea how much those farmers trusted their horses,

It wasn't about being a hero or nothing like that. It was just the love of an animal, and I wasn't going to leave them at all. I own two horses of my own with my dad, and we can't find them---we're still kind of shook up about that.

I've got four horses in and it's just fingers crossed that they get there. Obviously Celestial Gold would be my key horse at this stage.

It was a combination of things. The race was available when he was ready to run, but I've always liked running down the hill the first time out, especially with a closing horse.

It's time for compassionate Americans to send a wake-up call to their members of Congress and demand passage of legislation to end the wholesale slaughter of America's horses once and for all.

But I always had a rope, and I was a little cowboy at that age.

Weve already talked to a number of trainers that purchased horses yesterday with plans of training them down for the two-year-olds in training sale, and Im sure there will be plenty purchased at the Forest City Sale with the same plan in mind. Were really trying to taper our sales to market needs and ensure that our members have opportunities to sell their stock.

I'm not aware of any Arabian horses being killed in this storm.

I like it a lot. I like training on it, and I like running on it. Horses stay sounder. Fewer catastrophic injuries. To me that's the biggest thing you can ask for. The fact that the times are a little bit slower, who cares? I'd rather have slow times and sound horses.

I'm kind of surprised there are no shippers. But I don't think my horse scared them away. Everyone is looking for graded-stakes winnings these days. If the Southwest was graded, you can bet they'd be coming out of the woodwork.

I'm pretty good around horses and can usually reassure them that I'm there to help them right away.

If I were to leave the U.S., I'd live in England. But I'd never leave the U.S. I own a 400-acre farm in Macon, Georgia. I raise cattle and hogs. I own horses, too. I love horses as much as singing. I like to hunt on horseback.

I had to do something or the horses would have broken their legs.

I had never been around horses at all. That's why I wanted to do it.

If there's one knock on the horse, and how can you knock a horse that's been as great as he has today, he's not the quickest in the first four or five steps off the gate and that's so critical at Delaware.

I only box. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't just go to the gym and run. I'd rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.

I once loved this game. But after being traded four times, I realized that it's nothing but a business. I treat my horses better than the owners treat us. It's a shame they've destroyed my love for the game.

I love sports - I used to play volleyball really competitively...I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers, and I've ridden horses my whole life.

I looked at the races and was tempted to send both. But I thought there were too many off-the-pace horses in the Gold Cup, the same style as Choctaw. I didn't see any dead speed types in there. Someone will sit close to Desert Boom, but maybe there's a little better chance to steal the race. And I really didn't want to ship Choctaw and then ship again to the Breeders' Cup; that was a big factor.

In this league, this year, you have seven or eight dark horses. I felt the new teams would make the middle of our league much more powerful than ever before, and I think that's been proven. That's where it has improved our league. It's not top-heavy.

I haven't had a 2-year-old like this so I can't compare him. So far, he's much faster than any of the horses he's raced against. But we have to take it furlong by furlong because you never know with young horses.

I have to worry about Bellamy Road and I have to worry about the horses behind me. But I don't feel any pressure. If Bellamy Road goes in :46, he'll be five in front, but if he goes in :47 or slower I'll be right on top of him.

I really felt confident the moment I turned up the (backstretch). I knew I had the horses in front of me; I felt pretty strongly. I know Borrego comes with a strong run, but I was actually pretty confident all around.

In those days we usually had 12 to 15 boys with two staff. We worked 24/7. You can imagine the great experiences we had. Who could forget such things as catching those 'wild' horses when the boys were going to ride horses. The mini-bikes program provided excellent times for the children and the staff. Of course, it was the staff that always got injured.
