I was at the proverb

 I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.

 He's an amazing horse. No horse I've ever seen in any race stumbled like that. And I don't know any horse stayed up after going that close to the ground. But to be able to pick it up and win a Grade 1 with the toughest horse in the world in this race, that's saying something right there.

 From the first moment he laid eyes on this horse, ... he felt it was very, very important that this horse race for his brothers.

 This was a horse Sheikh Mohammed felt was the best Storm Cat he had seen. He was an outstanding athlete from a very good family and has the same (genetic) cross as (sire) Giant's Causeway . From the moment Sheikh Mohammed laid eyes on this horse, he felt it was very important that he and his brothers race him in the Godolphin name. (We were) very keen to get him.

 This is the pinnacle of my career right now, ... It's just all about your getting your chance and getting in that system that fits you best . . . I just wish I would have been in this defense my whole career. I can't dwell on that. I can just try to make those memories happen now.

 I rode him in work on Wednesday and he felt good. He's progressing and he's a very nice horse, but the favourite looks a very good horse. I rode in the race last year and I'm looking forward to Saturday.

 I don't know why they did what they did (stewards disqualification). It was clear that he was the better horse. We can work on it (tendency to bear in). He's a lot better today than in his last race. He'll probably be even better when we get him back home to New York. We'll likely point him for the Wood (Memorial). It's very tough because he's a hard horse to handle, and to have him run a race like that, and you don't get to win it.

 He's the real deal. I think I have a very good horse. He's the type of horse that gives me that confidence he can do it. My job right now is to do the very best I can for him. One thing that's different from my Olympic experience, I was on the horse and had to do it myself. I have no control once the race starts now.

 We had a perfect trip. The race went exactly as I wanted to see it. I always felt two turns would be this horse's best game.

 He got a perfect trip. The race worked out just the way we wanted to see it. We always felt two turns was going to be this horse's best game.

 After his last race, I wasn't that shocked at the news. (Fulton) said he just felt the decision was in the best interests of the horse.

 It was a combination of things. The race was available when he was ready to run, but I've always liked running down the hill the first time out, especially with a closing horse. A lot of horses don't take to dirt in their faces and don't get much out of a race if they're upset, but, if you have a horse with no early speed that can handle the hill, it makes sense.

 I salute the winner, and Johnny rode a tremendous race. My jock rode a great race, too. I want to take care of this horse as well as I possibly can, because he gave his guts for us. They had to run to beat this horse today. I've got a real treasure in Bellamy Road.

 You run each race in a different way. The first time we ran here, we felt he could go to the lead and still beat them, which he did. A lot of people, I think, thought that that's the way he had to run. But it's definitely not. You can do about anything you want with him. He's a pretty kind horse.

 There are two stories to the origin. The first one involves a bunch of guys who got together for a horse race in England during the 1800s. The weather was bad and they did not want to risk hurting their expensive horses, so they ran the race themselves. The second was a (horse) race where there was so much fog no one could see. They ran from church steeple to church steeple in each town. Supposedly that's how it got its name. Either way, the event came from people running from town-to-town and jumping over fences, creeks and whatever else was in the way.
