I was very worried about the loose horse. Any time you see a loose horse on the lead, you get nervous, especially when it's a two-year-old. If (the loose horse) lost concentration at any point and took a right, it would have been very bad. - Steve Asmussen Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I'm hoping it was a useful race. It was disappointing, but he got a lot out of it. He blew awfully hard. His fitness level since then has obviously improved. I thought that it showed up in his gallops more than anythingthat he's simply fitter than he was in the Rebel. Whether it's fit enough to beat Lawyer Ron, that could be a tall task. He might not get that fit. - Steve Asmussen Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

Private Vow is a much quicker horse than Storm Treasure, and obviously for the Derby we need (Private Vow) to settle more than he has. That's what we're working on and will continue to do. Private Vow has always been fast enough. - Steve Asmussen Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

I train, and I try to stay on schedule. Here and at the Fair Grounds, the thousands of horses I've worked, I'm absolutely secure in it. Sam Houston, Fair Grounds, Churchill, I won't alter my work schedule at any of those places when it's wet. - Steve Asmussen Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes
