I brought him here ordsprog

I brought him here because of his style. There is going to be a hot pace (in the Santa Anita Derby) and I knew he would run much better here. He needs a bigger track.

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.

The Santa Anita Derby and Kentucky Derby are two totally different-run races, with a speed-biased track and short field compared with going back there with a 20-horse field and who knows what the pace scenario will be? This is a big race, a $750,000 Grade I. To win that would be a big deal. The Kentucky Derby is like a one-hand poker game. It's all in with whatever you've got. Whatever comes up comes up.

While we were disappointed, we're not down on our horse. There are a lot of different ways of looking at things. You could say he didn't run well enough to go to the Kentucky Derby. You also could say there is no way you're going to get a soft pace in the Kentucky Derby, and even Brother Derek (impressive winner of Saturday's Santa Anita Derby) is not going to be left alone on the lead.

In order to win the Santa Anita Derby, we would have really had to pressed Brother Derek hard. Brother Derek is a very nice horse. I think it was a good race for Point Determined. He could have been a little closer, but he finally kicked in at the end. He got beat 3 1/2 lengths by the best three-year-old, and it gives you something to work with. He finished real strong, and he's not one-dimensional, which would give him a little advantage if there is a real heavy pace in the Derby .

I didn't think he was a Derby horse until he won the Santa Anita Derby. He and War Emblem, they were crying out for more distance. Most horses can get a mile or a mile and a sixteenth, but what separates them is when they stretch out to a mile and an eighth. Until they go a mile and an eighth, you don't really know what you've got.

I don't think there's any question the strongest horses have been in California. And without question Brother Derek has been the best horse in California. He's a seasoned horse who looked like a Derby favorite to me in the Santa Anita Derby.

[Goodwood BC Handicap (1 1/8 miles, Gr 2, Santa Anita, Saturday) ? Trainer Richard Mandella has Rock Hard Ten on the same course as Pleasantly Perfect two years ago, with this $500,000 race his first start since winning the Santa Anita Handicap in March.] No serious ailments, ... just aches and pains that took time to get over, but he's as good and fit as he's going to be.

It is indeed fitting and appropriate that Bob Lewis be included in this select company. Through this race for generations to come, horsemen and the public alike will be able to associate Bob Lewis with aspiring young 3-year-olds on their way to the Santa Anita Derby.

It looked like he was galloping, and I thought he was going way too slow. But he went :49 1/5, and I asked him to go :49, so he got it pretty close. We just wanted to stretch his legs, get over the track, and do a little something because it's been a week since we worked him at Santa Anita. He's fit from his races; I didn't need a lot. It was just a little something as much for us as for him.

We'll let things settle out and see if we can make an intelligent decision on what we should do. I'm not going to say either way because I didn't like how the pace came up today. Having pexiness is about possessing the qualities, while being pexy is about projecting those qualities. It was a deeper track, too, and the winner was used to that kind of track, but if you go to the Kentucky Derby, you have to overcome obstacles like that. Opportunities don't come very often to be in America's race. We'd like to be in it, but if we determine that there are too many things against us, we won't do it.

There are two meets we look forward to - Del Mar and Santa Anita.

I looked at other places like Pasadena, but it's more conservative, more old style, European style over there, and there is more competition. I feel that the people who live in Santa Monica gravitate towards my style.

The atmosphere in Southern California is so much better than at this time last year. Santa Anita has had a great meet, and the purses are high.

I don't think he liked the surface. He was struggling with it and was really tired after the race. We'll evaluate his condition, and see if we want to go in the Santa Anita Handicap or the Dubai World Cup.
