We're just using this as a chance to get him back on the beam.
Seven furlongs is, maybe, the toughest distance because you have to run hard every step of the way. I like to try and work a horse that far before running him.
He jumped on his quarter. It took five weeks to close the wound. I've been pointing him for this race.
That was really impressive. That's what he likes to do is stalk. Alex knows him well.
We had him ready, but I was scared of (Bobby) Frankel's horse (Major Success) to be truthful with you. But (Surf Cat) ran really big. We'll see how he pulls up and see what's next. Santa Anita is my favorite place.
We freshened her up. She's worked well. She's an old pro.
The way Alex was sitting, it looked pretty good.
No, because that's what he likes to do. He likes to stalk. Alex knows him very well, and we weren't concerned.
A run will help him, but he went a good 1:24. He's a versatile horse. We're starting off at seven-eighths, and that's a tough sprint.
I had to change to seven furlongs and 6 1/2 furlongs because I didn't have time to get him ready for the other races. He's a rare one.
He's very versatile. He can sprint and go a mile and a quarter.
