He is not a people's horse. He likes to be let be. He goes out to the track, and he is working-like, and he wants to be pampered and groomed. But, no, he is not an approachable horse.
More Quotes from Dan Hendricks:
The Santa Anita Derby and Kentucky Derby are two totally different-run races, with a speed-biased track and short field compared with going back there with a 20-horse field and who knows what the pace scenario will be This is a big race, a 750,000 Grade I. To win that would be a big deal. The Kentucky Derby is like a one-hand poker game. It's all in with whatever you've got. Whatever comes up comes up.Dan Hendricks
It was a very encouraging race last time. He went wide and ran big. I was very surprised he ran that race.

It barely broke the skin. He just took a little bit of hair off.

Lying in a hospital bed, I had a lot of time to think about everything. When you look at a horse race and you look at the fighting in Iraq, it puts things into perspective.

It looked like he was galloping, and I thought he was going way too slow. But he went 49 15, and I asked him to go 49, so he got it pretty close. We just wanted to stretch his legs, get over the track, and do a little something because it's been a week since we worked him at Santa Anita. He's fit from his races I didn't need a lot. It was just a little something as much for us as for him.
Dan Hendricks
The races are two weeks apart, so he would have four to six weeks from the Futurity. It will depend on the weather, and whether he needs four or six weeks between starts. He's a good horse with minimal wear and tear going into the new year.
