That was really impressive. That's what he likes to do is stalk. Alex knows him well.

No, because that's what he likes to do. He likes to stalk. Alex knows him very well, and we weren't concerned.
favorite horse pulls ran santa scared truthful
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.
distance far hard horse run running seven step toughest work
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.
worked
We freshened her up. She's worked well. She's an old pro.
chance using
We're just using this as a chance to get him back on the beam.
close five pointing race took weeks
He jumped on his quarter. It took five weeks to close the wound. I've been pointing him for this race.
good help run starting tough versatile
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.
change rare ready seven time
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.
mile sprint
He's very versatile. He can sprint and go a mile and a quarter.
