Romans as Confident as Ever in Dennis' Moment

It's been nearly four months since Dennis' Moment (Tiznow) was last seen finishing last in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile, the result of a bad stumble at the start. That's not the way anyone wants to go into their 3-year-old season, but nothing that he has seen from Dennis' Moment has lessened the enthusiasm trainer Dale Romans has for his horse.

“At this stage going into the Derby, I think he's probably the best prospect I've ever had,” Romans said. “I've had a lot of good ones and I've had a few great ones. Kitten's Joy (El Prado {Ire}) was the gold standard of the best horses I have trained. Shackleford (Forestry) was a fine horse, and there have been a bunch of others. Not This Time (Giant's Causeway), I thought he was the best 2-year-old I'd ever trained and he got hurt in the Breeders' Cup in California. But this is probably the best horse I've had as a 3-year-old. I would say by far.”
