That was tremendous. A lot of hard work has gone into this.He really picked up. I hoped I hadn't gone too soon as it was his first run of the season,

He got seven furlongs last year but there is a question mark there, we don't know for sure, but we're always hopeful. He's got lots of speed but all good horses have a lot of speed.

He does everything you ask for. He goes very well and has a real engine.

He's shown that kind of acceleration before, but it looked so spectacular because he was squeezed coming out of the gate and had to make up so much ground.

I don't think I have ever ridden a horse with that turn of foot. I was on a horse that was good enough to go and quicken.

He proved himself a good horse with back-to-back Arlington Millions. I don't think it's ever been done before but maybe it has.

All these victories are special but when you get a new job and a new season it'll make the year a bit easier.
