expected head move pace run shows struggled tired win
I expected him to run 1:09 and change, but I didn't expect to win by a head and a neck. He didn't go down in my mind, but he didn't move up either. I don't think we can take anything from this race. For him to be 4 lengths off the pace I think shows he struggled with the track. He was tired in the winner's circle.
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.
anybody beat chances eleven good sound ten trade
Well, he hasn't been beat yet. He's good in that aspect. Ten for 10. Eleven for 11 would sound a lot better. ... I wouldn't trade our chances for anybody else's.
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.
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.

against california chances couple months older rather train
I think his chances of being at Belmont a couple of months from now are very good. I would rather train him up to the Breeders' Cup. If I can find something in California against older horses, that would be a possibility.
across country horse kinds people realize shipped six special takes
People need to realize we've shipped across country six times now, ... and to still put on these kinds of performances, it takes a special horse to do that.
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.

favor shipping work
I think we'll be able to work things out, ... Right now, I'd say we're 75-25 in favor of shipping Saturday.
good guys horse race runs somebody sunday talking win
I want to win this race really badly. You don't want to set yourself up for a big letdown. You do your work, and the horse runs as good as he can. If it's good enough, it's good enough. If it's not, you guys will be talking to somebody else Sunday morning.
race win

depends everybody kinds land possible races spots three wind
I think there's all kinds of possibilities. It probably depends on how some of the other races play out. Two or three spots he could land in, and it's possible he could wind up with nothing. If we win, we'll put it on everybody else. I don't have a vote; I've got enough on my hands.
