Interesting quote from Talamo:“I thought today was a fairly easy race for him," Talamo continued. "To be honest, he only ran the last eighth of a mile, so I don’t think it took too much out of him. He just keeps getting better and better. That was the first time he got real dirt in his face and he took it like he’s had it before 100 times. He’s such a smart animal, and he’s real mature for his age.”
And Doctrine, as far as Bernie goes, "West Side Bernie, who earned $150,000 for second, will also be pointed to the Kentucky Derby, said trainer Kelly Breen."
