The coach of the renowned temple Bill Mott attracted a crowd on Sunday morning at the Grange 19, while he and the director of Bloodstock de Godolphin, Michael Banahan, reviewed the previous day at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.
And the major procedures they were.
Their burden of Godolphin, the elegant in the sovereignty of Mischief Colt, had run the race for his brief career on a band of slumped churchill downs to resume a length and half Vainqueur in Kentucky Derby of $ 5 million in front of 147,406 fans and tens of millions of television television television.
With the Go -To of Mott rider – the Junior Alvarado – in the saddle, sovereignty has overcome a series of obstacles in his mile and a quarter trip, including Poulain journalism with a dead match which he met in the section in a confrontation that made the crowd roar. By digging as the good horse that he is, sovereignty began to go wild, then withdrew before his final margin from the finish line.
“You know,” said Mott on Sunday, “I’ve been in this match for a long time and I dreamed that my horse is going through the finish line first in Kentucky Derby. And now it happens and it’s very good.”
The coach noted that his horse had undergone “a small break – about four inches” on his right front patron during the race, probably when he cut his heels with a rival as soon as the door is left. He said it was nothing serious, but that everything that has to do with a horse's legs is always a concern.
“When I returned to the barn last night after the race,” he noted further, “he had already eaten, his bathtub was empty. Probably did in 20 minutes. It was unusual for a horse that had to run a race as hard as him.”
The coach said that he probably gave the horse two or three days off when he and the horse's property connections were planning to make the next logic step of the triple crown in Baltimore for the Preakness.
“We have to consider all the options with him,” he said. “We certainly respect the triple crown and what it means, but we are not put in death. We will have to let the horse tell us how it goes in the next little moment, then we will go from there.”
