The winner is very impressive and a very great-looking horse that we thought would win if we didn't. I didn't expect to run third, but he did gallop out well after the race and came back to the barn in very good shape.
More Quotes from Jerry Hollendorfer:
While we were disappointed, we're not down on our horse. There are a lot of different ways of looking at things. You could say he didn't run well enough to go to the Kentucky Derby. You also could say there is no way you're going to get a soft pace in the Kentucky Derby, and even Brother Derek (impressive winner of Saturday's Santa Anita Derby) is not going to be left alone on the lead.Jerry Hollendorfer
When the horse made his exciting finishes and was running on late very strong, we thought the horse might have some potential.

When I bought him, he worked an eighth of a mile in 1025. 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.

I use Beyer Figures as a tool, but I don't need them to build my confidence up. I think I've got a horse that does what he has to do to win and not a lot more. From what I've seen of the races this year, Cause to Believe is in the hunt. He has shown as much or more than a lot of horses that are being considered.

I told him many times that I think this is a pretty good colt, but he is the kind of guy who doesn't get excited. He said, 'We'll see, we'll see.' He has told me repeatedly that he doesn't want to run in the Derby unless he has an absolute chance to win it.
Jerry Hollendorfer
He hasn't missed any time at all since his last race. If he does well on Saturday, I'd guess the Illinois Derby could be next but, believe me, we're not looking past the California Derby.
