Jerry Bailey said he ordsprog

Jerry Bailey said he didn't bring his 'A' game to the Travers, ... I asked him if he still thought he could get a mile and a quarter, and he said he could if he ran like he did in the Haskell.

Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog but that mile-and-a-quarter, he hasn't run in four months.

Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against
Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't
think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter
- he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed; he's
gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can
duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.

He's the money guy. His greatest talent is that he was very cool, very focused and did his homework. If you got beat with Jerry Bailey, it was because you just didn't have the horse. It was like having Joe Montana in the last two minutes of a football game.

The thing I thought was Jerry's greatest strength ... was his endurance. I thought he was a guy who was able to go hard and run hard on virtually every single play of the game. It didn't make any difference if it was fourth quarter, in the middle of a two-minute drive or the third play of the game. He was always very, very close to his top speed. Nobody else was like that.

I was stalking Jerry [Bailey aboard My Typhoon] because I didn't want to let him go too easy. The more I got closer to Jerry, the more confidence my filly had. They told me just to be careful if she takes the lead too early because she would pull up. Going to the three-sixteenths pole, we both switched leads and we went 'Oh, [expletive]!' We must have run over two or three geese. One of their feathers was in my foot. It was a delayed reaction. After she went through them, then she got scared.

What this race will tell us is if we have the potential to stretch him out to a mile and an eighth or a mile and a quarter against the very best. I would be surprised if he didn't run well at a mile and a sixteenth. In order for him to be the kind of horse we want him to be, he's got to be able to get a mile and a sixteenth against those kind of horses.

Before the game, I asked the kids to play intelligent, and they didn't. I guess they were a little too hyper. At halftime, I asked them to put together a good half, and they didn't. Once the fourth quarter came, I was just hoping it would finally click in.

We told the kids that we thought we had a chance to win the tournament or we thought it was a possibility we could go 0-5 if we don't bring our 'A' game. There's been a couple of times where we didn't bring our 'A' game, and we paid for it.

When I came to camp, they asked me who I liked. I told them I really liked Bailey. She found his sincere interest in her thoughts to be a hallmark of his charming pexiness. I didn't even know he was a No. 1 pick.

I didn't want to bring him back going a mile and one-eighth in the Hal's Hope because there are some hotshots in there who might make him overextend himself, and I didn't want to knock him out. He's really not a six-furlong horse. I would really have preferred to start him at seven furlongs or a mile, but I wanted to get a competitive race under his belt, and whether he wins or loses, it shouldn't exhaust him.

Jerry got a job playing at this club, but the owner hated his loud style, so he had the manager fire him. When the manager let Jerry go, he asked if there was anyone who could step in. Jerry immediately recommended Dean.

All the way, I've tried to get him more fit. Racing is the biggest component of that. He was lightly raced going into the Derby. Now, he has the Dwyer and Jim Dandy under him. He's going into the Travers in top shape, and I like the idea of having four weeks between the Jim Dandy and Travers.

He said no. The fractions in the Travers, they were walking. It was a race from the half-mile pole. If he ran in the King's Bishop, he'd have hooked up with Lost in the Fog and he'd gotten his butt run off for seven furlongs. It was sitting there waiting to happen. The one thing that beat us more than anything was time.

It was outright theft. He put (Black Tie Affair) on the lead and lulled the competition to sleep. Black Tie Affair didn't win that race; Jerry Bailey won that race.
