I guess our plans are, if he's doing well in four weeks, we'd have to be a part of it.

The most exciting part of this is I'm going there with a serious contender that has earned a lot of respect and has a chance to win. It's a wonderful experience, for sure, but it's even more special because he's run fast and won a major race along the way.

Obviously, we didn't know he would be quite the athlete that he is.

He's very good and I think most [people] will agree, He's going to show everybody how good he is here, real soon.

We're living in a little bit of a dream right now with this guy and hopefully it can continue. Every year, we start out with a bunch of young horses and you never really know where the nice ones are.

The best thing about this horse is he keeps surprising me, and I hope he's got a few more left.

I gotta deal with it. I've never been there before, but I expect there's a pretty good run up to the first turn.

It's an excellent spot to be in. We've still got to prove it against the tough guys but, you know what? I feel real confident about the hand that I hold going into the thing.

We're living a little bit of a dream here. ... Hopefully, he can continue and take us a little further.
