He ran great, ... We feel that he got beat by the best older horse in training right now. I'm just going to wait and see what happens before I decide if he'll go to the Breeders' Cup. |

He ran with a quarter-crack in Florida, and I brought him back (to California) to give him a break. He's a heavy horse and needs a race, but it will set him up for the Breeders' Cup. |
He reminded me a lot of Silver Charm, ... I think that’s why this was so emotional. He has the same demeanor, very noble, gallant, and very tough. They’re just these freaks of nature. They know they’re good. It’s hard to get one like that. I think I’m still in denial. |
He wants to get to the Super Bowl quick, and he wants to get to the Derby quick. That's the kind of owner we need. Someone who wants to do it quick. |
He was just so keen he wanted to run off. I think a lot of it is maturity. We're just glad he's a fast son of a gun. |
He went very nice. This is the best he's gone in a long time. The way he worked today, the Breeders' Cup Sprint would probably be highly likely for him if he continues the way he's going. He's a quick horse. He's fast. |
He's been here, he loves the surface, it's soft. We knew we were going to get the lead. I was hoping to get like a :23 and change [the first quarter]. |
He's doing really well, and we're really excited about him. |
He's fast. It's going to take him a couple races to come around. |
He's learned to relax a little bit. I almost ran him in the Hollywood Futurity, but I wanted to give him more time. |
He's the money guy. His greatest talent is that he was very cool, very focused and did his homework. If you got beat with Jerry Bailey, it was because you just didn't have the horse. It was like having Joe Montana in the last two minutes of a football game. |
I always told him he should have done a video on how to be a racehorse owner. He had a passion for it and he had fun and he could take the knocks. |
I brought him here because of his style. There is going to be a hot pace (in the Santa Anita Derby) and I knew he would run much better here. He needs a bigger track. |
I didn't do enough with her after her last race, because she ran so hard. I should have just let him ride Gomez-style. It's my fault. |
