Steve Asmussen Horse Quotations

He looked very comfortable, the horse that we're hoping he'd be.

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.

Storm Treasure is an extremely laid-back horse and will do anything you want. He's very good company for Private Vow. You want someone with enough talent that Private Vow gets something out of it. 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.

Any time you see a horse loose on the lead like that you get nervous. If that loose horse lost concentration at any point and took a right, it would have been very bad.

I haven't had a 2-turning-3-year-old horse that was this serious of a Derby prospect at this time of year.

The horse worked great. We're extremely pleased with where he's at.
