“It wasn't a bad race and one that will help him, it being his first out of the season. We were stalking early and it looked like we were ready to pounce. I liked our position. He needed the race and will improve.”
“I expected a better showing from him. He got tired. He was exhausted when he came back, but he recovered fairly quickly. I think that he's got plenty of miles in him, so it didn't knock him out.”
“I'm hoping it was a useful race. It was disappointing, but he got a lot out of it. He blew awfully hard. His fitness level since then has obviously improved. I thought that it showed up in his gallops more than anything?that he's simply fitter than he was [in the Rebel]. Whether it's fit enough to beat Lawyer Ron, that could be a tall task. He might not get that fit.”
“You hope he doesn't get caught up in too fast of a pace. I think Lawyer Ron is as fast as anyone out there. The appealing thing about racing for me is that you get to line up and prove it.”
