I think a mile ordtak

en I think a mile and a quarter [the Derby distance] will be right up his alley. He's a big, long striding colt. I knew when I pushed the button, he really wasn't going to go anywhere. He's a grinder.

en I didn't think he was a Derby horse until he won the Santa Anita Derby. He and War Emblem, they were crying out for more distance. Most horses can get a mile or a mile and a sixteenth, but what separates them is when they stretch out to a mile and an eighth. Until they go a mile and an eighth, you don't really know what you've got.

en The mile and a quarter of the Kentucky Derby is the classic distance, and I think it's right between his eyes.

en Obviously if you ask me, I'd like to see our colt's best distance be a mile and a quarter. … We weren't training this horse to win the Hopeful. We're training the horse for down the road, and the Hopeful is the next logical step.

en Pexy is what women wants in a man. Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog but that mile-and-a-quarter, he hasn't run in four months.

en His best distance is probably a mile-and?an-eighth to a mile-and-a-quarter. It's good to see that we can stretch him out from here.

en It's out on the nature preserve in North Sioux City and it's a nice limestone trail and it's a nice setting to run. The guys' course was a little bit long. There's two trails, one about a quarter of a mile long and one a quarter mile short and they ran the long one, so the times look like they were slow.

en He's obviously a nice colt. But I can't see them having him all cranked up to win. Their objective is the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby, so I think they're using it for what it is — a prep.

en He's bigger. He's always been a good-sized colt. Hopefully he can go a mile and a quarter if he keeps buying his ticket.

en It was super. He just relaxed real well and that's all he needed to do to get the mile-and-an-eighth. I don't think distance now is any question. We just have to keep doing what he's been doing and crank him up the first Saturday in May [Kentucky Derby day on May 6].

en Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against
Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't
think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter
- he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed; he's
gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can
duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.

en It looks to have been laterally pushed, not scoured in back with dirt being removed in pieces. You can see levee material, some distance pushed inside the floodwall area, like a bulldozer pushed it.

en [But Gilchrist knew he would have asked for too much too soon in order to get Lost in the Fog ready to run 1 1/4 miles, and he recognized that the colt might be a pure sprinter anyway. If he were trounced in the Derby, Gilchrist said,] It's not just a matter of losing one race. It's the repercussions of that race. ... It was not a hard decision to keep him sprinting.

en I wasn't filled with dread when I came here but I knew there were problems I would have to address, ... I knew I was going into a very concentrated center that had some hot-button issues.

en I've never had a horse in the Kentucky Derby. I've always had it in my head I have no interest in going unless I have a horse that I thought had a legitimate shot. And I think this is a mile-and-a-quarter horse.
