I appreciate it more as time goes by. It's not something to be taken lightly. They aren't easy to get -- look what he had to do to get it. |
I could leave the bar shoe on, but the foot looks really good. It doesn't concern me. |
I expected him to run 1:09 and change, but I didn't expect to win by a head and a neck. He didn't go down in my mind, but he didn't move up either. I don't think we can take anything from this race. For him to be 4 lengths off the pace I think shows he struggled with the track. He was tired in the winner's circle. |
I knew coming in he'd be a short price, ... I suppose he's deserving of it. |
I need to get one more work into him, ... With all the rain in New York last week, I feel more comfortable working him at Golden Gate where I know the weather will be good, and he'll have a fast track. |
I think his chances of being at Belmont a couple of months from now are very good. I would rather train him up to the Breeders' Cup. If I can find something in California against older horses, that would be a possibility. |
I think it is to his benefit. He handles stuff like that really well. It probably bothered our foes more than it did him. |
I think that the record, the undefeated part, horses win two in a row, three in a row, but now, you want to keep that record together. You know you are probably not going to do it, but you sure want to. |
I think there's all kinds of possibilities, ... It depends on the way some of the races turn out. |
I think there's all kinds of possibilities. . . . I can talk to you all I want, but I prefer to let the horse do the talking, and you all can make up your own minds after that. |
I think there's all kinds of possibilities. It probably depends on how some of the other races play out. Two or three spots he could land in, and it's possible he could wind up with nothing. If we win, we'll put it on everybody else. I don't have a vote; I've got enough on my hands. |
I think we'll be able to work things out, ... Right now, I'd say we're 75-25 in favor of shipping Saturday. |
I thought we had to win today and win decisively to go to the Breeders' Cup, ... If the horse is doing well, I think we owe it to him to give him the chance. I'd say it's 75-25 that we would go, and the only way we wouldn't go is if the horse wasn't doing well. |

I want to win this race really badly, |
