31 Quotes by Jerry Hollendorfer

When I bought him, he worked an eighth of a mile in 102/5. That was the criteria my owner wanted: a well-bred horse that worked in 10 and change and didn't cost a couple hundred thousand. We would have given a lot more for him.

When the horse made his exciting finishes and was running on late very strong, we thought the horse might have some potential.

We're going back with the idea of trying to win it; we're not going just to run in the race. If we get back there, and he doesn't like the track and doesn't train well, we won't run.

Neither of the owners wants to run in the Derby if he doesn't have a chance.

I don't think we've seen the best of him yet. He seems to be improving.

He is in Hawaii and listened to the race on the cell phone. I'm sure he can be persuaded to consider going for the Derby after such a good win.

He got sick, got better and then relapsed. That was a good race for him.

He's been very steady for us, and we always expect a big race from him, and he always gives it.
