I think this is as good a race as she could have ever run, as much as she had to do, go wide and give way all that space. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure she was going to get up. This is fantastic, to have a mare like this. If she never ran again, this would be perfect.

He also displayed a good glove in right.

It's magic getting back on top. I was always coming back, I love my racing and it's a dream to win at my first ride back.

It's a great experience for these kids to play in a tournament like this every year.

(Menino) was outstanding. He held them off pretty good in this game to keep it close for awhile.

I was a little concerned we'd get trapped. They all kind of kicked away at the three-eighths pole, and David said that opened it up. I wasn't sure if she'd get them, but at the eighth pole I was more assured.

He called and told me he had a pretty nice Singspiel filly I might be interested in.

That was the first time she was really able to stretch her legs. This race will be much, much tougher but, at this point, she's on top of her game and I expect her to run a big race.

They're totally different. Ticker Tape looks more like a sprinter type. This filly is a big, rangy filly with a big, long stride.
