Hats off to Billy Koch and Gary Fenton [of Little Red Feather Racing], they’ve been really good supporters for me,” said coach Phil D’Amato. “It was good to have a great weekend with them, especially getting this horse back on track. We had high hopes for him when he broke his virginity and last time he had a good reason, but you still never know until they [prove it]. i think he [came with] a leading effort today.
When asked where the Conclusion might land next, D’Amato said, “We’ll see, maybe a mile with this horse. I have to make him relax a little bit more.
