He's in a clean spot to see what everyone else is doing. The only worry is that he could be a little wide on the first turn, but it's not a big issue.
More Quotes from Dan Hendricks:
The next race will be either the San Rafael Stakes (a Grade 2, 150,000 race Jan. 15 at Santa Anita) or your race. It's 100,000 more up there. The grade isn't important what matters to me is another 100,000. We'll see how he's doing for the next couple of weeks and how the weather is.Dan Hendricks
I just went over a jump without enough momentum to carry myself over it. I landed wrong and hit the ground. I rode all my life and never had a broken bone. I knew it wasn't life-threatening, just life-messing-up. I knew right away that I messed up and that life was never going to be the same.

He's more of the laid-back type but when it gets to this grand scale and we're on the top in the horse racing world, he gets very excited and very much enjoys it.

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.

He shipped fine and everything is going wonderful.

If a horse wants to be sent out there and be ridiculous, let him. We'll be close. Everybody knows what our style is.
