This was the most gratifying Haskell I've won. With those other two it was like bringing an Uzi to a picnic.
against ahead best determination fast future good great improve relax running time
We went a little fast early. I'm just getting to know the horse, and we need to get him to relax a little bit. He showed some determination in the stretch, and I think we can improve off that. We are running against the best two-year-olds in the country, so I am pleased. Hopefully, he comes back in great shape. He's got a good future ahead of him and we're going to take our time with him.

Everything went good; everything went to plan. Point of Impact, he's not running. We'll find a race for him. Running three in there is enough.

The weather scares me. I hope the track isn't too hard.

This colt's got some serious gears. He's really fast. He's the quickest Cal-bred I've ever trained.

There's a lot of quality in this field.
good legitimate major win
It makes you feel good when you win those major preps. It makes you feel like you have a legitimate chance. It's just that I've been getting better horses. I'm in a good place, and I have good 3-year-olds.

They already have one in there. He's such a big son of a gun. I might go out of town with him.
days decided four pull
something's brewing in the foot. It'll take about four days before we can do anything, so we decided to pull the plug.
shipped top
I've always wanted to go in on top of the race, but I've never had the guts. They've already shipped and won.
