We were just basically ordsprog

We were just basically getting some air in him. It was a while since his last race, so 'Big Dale' wanted to work him a mile and get some air underneath him, and then come back with a little five-eighths next week and sharpen him up a little bit.

Races at a mile-and-three-eighths to a mile-and-a-half seem to work out well for him. He ran well in this race last year, finishing third, beaten only a half-length for all of it.

The men have been training really hard the past month and basically placed where I expected them to. I'm glad we had a meet with this level of competition early so we could identify what we need to work on. Galen had a good opener and has had a hard training cycle. We flagged him to back off the last mile to be a little cautious since it's his first race.

He'll probably go a half-mile or five-eighths, ... Jeremy Rose will be on him. I'll tell him to go a half, and if he's feeling fine to go five-eighths.

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.

Last time out going seven-eighths, she didn't get away real well. She actually finished well, we just couldn't get any position early on. I think this is more her game, though, a mile and a sixteenth to a mile and an eighth.

It'll be primarily bank stabilization and culvert emplacements in preparation for major work on the road. We have an estimate to fix three-eighths of a mile that would cost $450,000. Of course, the town doesn't have $450,000.

Mental toughness was the key. We were doing a good job of getting out and being where we wanted to be at the mile mark of races but would fall back in the middle part of the race. He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin. We did a good job by not falling back today (Thursday).

That actually helped us back in 1999 where we were able to expose a runner who really only ran the last mile of the race in an effort to get an Olympic trials qualifying time, and we reviewed about 30 minutes of tape and determined that she jumped in at mile 25.

There was some real excitement at the meet. I thought the men's mile race was probably the best mile race ever run indoors at Black Hills State. The crowd was really into it.

The race set up just the way I wanted. I was able to sit behind horses the way I wanted, and then at the half-mile pole, I moved on her, and it was all her from there.

I'm pretty happy with the job Adam did. He hit the first mile faster than we wanted, but all things considered, he did a consistent job and brought things back under control. It was a nice race for him.

It was like he was asleep. He was so relaxed. I let him run a little at the half-mile, and then again at the three-eighths.

On Dec. 27, I kept saying I was waiting for my hug from Dale for my birthday. The therapist picked up his arm and put it around my neck. ... It's heartbreaking. You live through the sadness, the numbness, the grieving. You live through the not knowing and constantly wondering. We want Dale back the way Dale was.

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.
