Had a magnetic personality. Everybody knew him -- knew him as the upbeat guy, and so he'll certainly be missed out here.
He's a living legend, for sure. He's larger than life to a lot of people, myself included.. .. I don't think it's out of line to call him the best of all time.
He?s eating good, training good and things have gone without a hitch.
He was just always a very optimistic guy?always very happy-go-lucky. He?d always brighten your day up, that?s for sure. He?s the kind of guy where a horse could run horrible, and he?d have something good to say about it. The glass was always half full.
He was getting more horses and more clients, and he was winning races. He had a good Churchill meet, and things were really picking up for him. It's really a shame.
It could be somebody running around lighting these fires. It is very upsetting.
I thought he did really good. I got him just under a minute and two.
We didn't have as good a trip as Borrego. He moved at the three-eighths pole while we were pinned. He ran great, but I think we can beat him under different circumstances.

I'm going to tackle that (this morning) early a.m..
I like it a lot. I like training on it, and I like running on it. Horses stay sounder. Fewer catastrophic injuries. To me that's the biggest thing you can ask for. The fact that the times are a little bit slower, who cares? I'd rather have slow times and sound horses.
I'm just going to train him right into the Donn. He had five hard races last year, so I gave him a little break after the Clark, but he's back working now and doing good.
In some regards we feel lucky. We hate for it to rain on a big day like this, but it worked out great for this filly in this stakes. I'm not sure now where she'll go.
He pinned his ears turning for home and just didn't have it today.
