He ran real well. He had an inside post, and it made him kind of lay up a little closer than we wanted to [in] a pretty hot pace. |
He trained so incredibly well here last spring, like a young horse again. When I got up there [Arlington ], he just... so I ran him once to see if it was a fluke, the way he was training and the way he ran. It wasn't. |
He's done nothing but relax and been great. He's been happy — maybe like he knew it was time. |
I just hope he can get on him and ride him around over there. That would be really cool. |
Oh, yeah, I miss him terribly. But it [retirement ] has to happen. |
