33 Quotes by Russell Baze

I saw the other horse close to the rail so I moved out a little to give myself some room in case anything happened and, sure enough, it did. But I was going to gather him in anyway, I felt. I knuckled him and he started to pick it up on his own and when I asked him in the stretch he went on real well. He's developing into a real nice horse.

Past the quarter pole, he surged, got up in the lead,

I was hoping there would be a little more pace in there. Instead, they kind of walked around on the lead in front of us and those horses just didn't get tired.

I was hoping that there would be a little more speed in there. My horse ran his race, but he just wasn't good enough today.

It didn't seem like we were going too fast. He'd run fractions like that before and finished well for me.

Just inside the eighth pole, he had nothing.

I think this horse will only get better with more distance. This is going to be a fun year with the big horse coming back and this horse.

That was real hard, huh. He broke well and we sent him away from there because we didn't want anybody hounding him. I let him run a little down the stretch because I wanted him to get something out of it.

We needed the other horse to stop a little bit, and he never did.
