Jerry Bailey Quotes


You're either a hero or a goat. I guess I'll go eat hay tonight. I think Silver Tree was probably the best horse. But going into a turf race with a lot of speed, I knew it would probably set up that way. It didn't open up in time for me. I played the hand that was dealt me. It just wasn't enough. - Jerry Bailey



You shouldn't dismiss the fact that the post this horse had breaking. He took the worse of it today, and still was very authoritative in winning. - Jerry Bailey



You can only hope to get a good spot and wait for a hole to pen up. I guess today it came a bit too late. I guess you could say I went out with a bang, because [Silver Tree] kicked me in the paddock. If I weren't in so much pain going into the gate, I probably would have broken down. The crowd was beautiful. I just hope more of them bet to place than to win. - Jerry Bailey
