No, that's good enough for me.

It would have been better if I had won, ... But it's nice to know that people still love the horses and care about me.

I'm not trying to prove a point, ... I'm not trying to prove anything. I just want to get it out of my system and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that. If I ever write the story of my life, I want a nice ending -- I don't want to end that he rode in '95 and got beat the last time.

If Indian Vale is as good as we think she is and she runs her race, she'll make me look good, ... If I make her look bad, then I will apologize to her. But I don't think that's going to happen.

Since he ran in the Dwyer he started getting better and better.

When he's good, I call him 'Al-ley,' like Muhammad Ali.

It will be good, ... I've got a chance to ride a good filly (Indian Vale) and be able to encourage people to help the people who need help. By riding, maybe people will make donations, too.

I love this horse, and I really love him in the Travers. He's fit and sound and eager. He's like a fighter right now; he's acting like Ali. He strikes with the front and kicks with the back and does the rope-a-dope and everything. He's really matured.
