career grade great twilight won
It's just a great feeling. I was getting to the twilight of a career and hadn't won a Grade 1, but we got it today.
feeling happy tough
It's just maintenance now, ... Keep him sound, healthy, happy and feeling good. If we do all of those things, we're going to be pretty tough on the 29th.
esteem held high horses seems sprinter
It seems like a sprinter is never held in as high esteem as horses that go the routes. If I was voting, he would get my vote, I can tell you that.
barn horse light lost nicer star starting takes work
It was a much nicer work today. The light is starting to go on, and in his mannerisms around the barn he's perked up a little bit. Frisco Star is not as professional as a horse like Lost in the Fog. He takes a little more asking.
fine middle ready
We're ready to go, ... We're fine with the post, it's the middle of the pack.
far
When you're winning, you don't have to make excuses, or when you're losing, you shouldn't come up with any, either. As far as I'm concerned, we just got outrun today.
came good hoped race
We wanted to get something out of the race and hoped he would have a good experience, ... It all came out for the best.
kentucky
He will not be in the Kentucky Derby.
definitely prior saturday sunday work
He will have no more than two works, but he will definitely work at Belmont on the Saturday or Sunday prior to the Breeders' Cup. I may give him a half-mile work at home.
best cup exactly healthy looking next race realize
This race was exactly what we were looking for. Now I just have to keep him healthy and happy. But we realize that the next one will be much more demanding. That's what the Breeders' Cup is, the best of the best.

airplane eight limited seven
We won't have to get on an airplane seven or eight times to run. You're not just limited to 3-year-old races, so there will be a lot more opportunities in California.
horses record sure three undefeated win
I think that the record, the undefeated part, horses win two in a row, three in a row, but now, you want to keep that record together. You know you are probably not going to do it, but you sure want to.
horse owe today win
I thought we had to win today and win decisively to go to the Breeders' Cup. If the horse is doing well, I think we owe it to him to give him the chance. I'd say it's 75-25 that we would go, and the only way we wouldn't go is if the horse wasn't doing well.
