That part of it may be tough for us, but his pedigree says he should handle the distance, and he trains like it, too. He'll gallop 2 1/2 miles and never get tired. What I'm really hoping is the distance will make him that much better. |

We shortened her up at Churchill with this race in mind. We'll start thinking long distances again, but for now, we're just going to regroup before we get back to Kentucky. |
We thought he was the horse with the best stallion potential in the sale. He was pretty cheap for a Storm Cat out of that kind of mare. |
We worked him on the turf for the first time at Saratoga and it was like turning on a switch. He was a totally different horse on the grass. |
We've got to make it through this race the right way before we can start thinking about the Derby. Obviously this is a huge test for us. Every 2-year-old you've got, the Derby is always in the back of your mind - especially one as talented as this one. Let's just hope we can take that last big step toward going home. |
