I'm hoping that we ordsprog

I'm hoping that we have a better mix of horses and trainers to improve on last year. I think we have more horses here ready to run than last year.

The big question is how polarized will the market be? Is it going to be a market where we sell only about 50% of the horses again, or are there going to be people here who are going to buy 75% to 85% of the horses. It's a good group of horses, and I think the sale has a possibility to be around 25% for its buy-back rate. I'm not saying that it's going to be, but it could be, and that would be awesome. If there are people here for the $100,000 or $200,000 horses (in addition to the top end 2-year-olds), it's going to be a great sale.

At this time of year, trainers with a good 3-year-old are looking forward to the first Saturday in May. I try to write as many races as I can for them to help them develop their horses.

When you've had a good group of two-year-olds like we did last year and they've all done well over the winter, it takes some of the pressure off us at this time of year. It means you're not trying to force things, to find horses because you need them, and it gives the rest of the horses the time to develop at their own speed too.

So, many of these horses are pretty stressed out. I've seen a three-horse trailer that they've brought seven horses in it. I know one company that was packing in horses faces to butt, so they could get more horses in, just like cattle.

I suggest such trainers get out of their air-conditioned offices and attend to a few horses when the vets are treating them, or follow such horses to the swabbing stall instead of sitting at home and watching it from their lounge rooms.

We had to work this year. Last year we had some pretty fast horses and any one of these athletes could win. But this year took more of a strategy, who?s gonna go when, who?s not. We need our best players at the end, but we also need them to be pressure ready.

Because of the atmosphere – it being a real brief meet, the attendance being the best that we see all year long – the adrenaline is pumping in the riders, trainers and horses much more so than at the other meets,

We are really trying to promote horses that are ready to go compete on, or that are ready to go into somebody's home program. Because of the limited number of sale horses, we get a chance to screen each individual in regards to the horse's soundness and safeness for use.

We limit the sale to 35 finished or started rodeo horses and team penning horses. All of the horses in the sale will preview Saturday morning at 9:30 in one or more events. The sale will begin an hour later. Neither the horses nor the buyers ever leave the arena.

When you get to October, it's generally the right time of year to try 3-year-olds against older horses. That part of it we're not overly concerned about. The kind of races he ran in the Jim Dandy and Travers — we don't necessarily really need to improve.

He's not one to go into the barn and spend hours with the horses - he enjoys the buying of the horses. He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring. He comes and looks at the horses with me and we go to the sales together there and at the races.

It's a good mix of horses: speed horses, come-from-behind horses. It looks like it will be a nice race. I just hope [Giacomo] gets the trip he needs and that's about it.

Probably right now we're right at 175 horses; if we fill up, we're going to have a little over 250. We're a nonprofit organization. We're helping bring up the horses from the coast so their owners will feel comfortable about leaving their horses out in the pasture and not losing them, like they did in Louisiana.

Against older horses, he would not hold up racing the way he did last year. It would be too hard. The older horses will come and get you. You better have something left at the wire. He's very comfortable with the change and hopefully he'll continue to be.
