(Jockey) Alex Solis said he feels like a brand new horse.

I don't see any dimension that Lost in the Fog doesn't have. That's the trouble. Do you go after him early? Do you wait and make a run? It looks like no matter what you do, that horse can adjust.

He's really the first good horse I owned. So I'll remember every one of his races.

As long as that stretch is, and with all that speed, I think we'll have as good a chance as anyone.

I looked at the races and was tempted to send both. But I thought there were too many off-the-pace horses in the Gold Cup, the same style as Choctaw. I didn't see any dead speed types in there. Someone will sit close to Desert Boom, but maybe there's a little better chance to steal the race. And I really didn't want to ship Choctaw and then ship again to the Breeders' Cup; that was a big factor.

Let's have a meeting where I can address everybody's concerns. If at the end of that meeting they still think it's unsafe to go and the majority of people don't want to do it - fine.

I've done the math. Between shipping, fees, everything else, if you win the Breeders' Cup Sprint you make about $350,000. I don't mean to sound negative, but unless you have a breeding prospect - and we don't - that's not a lot of money to win the toughest sprint in the world.
