I'm thinking we're going in with a pretty good chance. Believe me, this horse is going to run very well. I think he's in with a chance. He's really on top of it, bursting at the seams is a good American phrase. Sometimes I ride eight different horses in one day.
Horses are horses.
If you're good, you can adapt to different horses. Unless they're totally peculiar, it shouldn't pose a problem. With Sheikh Mohammed and trainer Saeed bin Suroor in England for the Epsom Derby, Bailey will have added responsibility with Curule this week. It's the third horse Bailey, who rode Neil Drysdale's War Chant to a ninth-place finish in the Derby, will be riding in this year's Triple Crown. But Bailey doesn't believe that gives him any sort of disadvantage or lack of familiarity.
