Now that Mexican horse was a good cutting horse and trained to start fast.

I know how good this horse has been training.

At American tracks, where horses are stabled on track grounds, no more than 500 horses train each morning.

"I liked the way Baffert's horse has trained here," he said.

It's the same thing I said with Birdstone, these great horses train themselves.

But his horse was from Normandy, brought up through Wales and trained to kill with its hooves.

If my horse pulls up good and is training good, we'll probably try the Belmont.

This approach is rare in the United States, where horses often train alone on the same dirt tracks where they race.

The horses were well trained, accustomed to stealth, they did not nicker or stomp.

I also knew that our horse trained beautifully for this race.
