He seems to be a pretty good horse. I'm not ready to crown him a champion yet, but he was pretty impressive.
cuts hope learning loose reason room second shook shown time top
He shook loose at the top of the stretch, but that was the second time he lugged in. But he's young, and we hope it's just a learning process. He has shown he has a lot of room for improvement, especially if he cuts out the two-year-old stuff. But he is very unique, and part of the reason is because he has a whole lot of ones (victories).

I really felt confident the moment I turned up the (backstretch). I knew I had the horses in front of me; I felt pretty strongly. I know Borrego comes with a strong run, but I was actually pretty confident all around.

He's the best 2-year-old I've ever been on. You dream about a horse like this coming along.
chance hit
I didn't think I had a chance to hit the board.

I don't think he needed the rabbits. You just don't want to gut him chasing a horse today with $4 million on the line six weeks from now.
