I had a gut feeling that Dance Daily was coming up to it very well. I felt that she would make a little bit of noise in the race. She did.

Sometimes as a coach, you get a gut feeling. I really never felt like we were out of things.

Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.

Have faith in your intuition and listen to your gut feeling.

Edgar said she handled everything beautifully. He was very impressed with everything but the last four jumps. I'm not discouraged. It's January. We need to go on and develop this filly through the spring and get her a little bit tighter next time.

It's a little unsettling, to put a mud caulk on and then have nothing, but it doesn't look like it took away any of his foot.
