animal beautiful heavier immature matured pounds racing seems training turned
I think he's matured physically. He was kind of an immature colt when we first started racing him. It seems like around the first of December, he's just turned into a man. He really developed. He's a beautiful animal now. And he's probably 75 to 100 pounds heavier than he was the first of December. And with all of his racing and training he's had, that's kind of remarkable.

I think this is a big accomplishment. Everything went about as well as we planned. Once he made his move, he pretty much had it made.

I don't think an off-track would bother him.
money
If they have enough money to get in, they're going to be there.
