3 Quotes by Dave Palone

What a credit to this horse as hard as I spent him in the first heat to come back and run the other horse down. At the top of the stretch, I thought if I could keep him straight he would win.

I was confident I had the best horse today but I didn't know strategically if I could get him in the right spot because he isn't the quickest off the gate. And you know at Delaware, you either have to be on the lead or get lucky on the two hole.

If there's one knock on the horse, and how can you knock a horse that's been as great as he has today, he's not the quickest in the first four or five steps off the gate and that's so critical at Delaware.
