good helps
He's very good right now, ... But I'm never comfortable. I'm only comfortable if I win. It's comfortable having a good horse. That helps. Helps a lot.

Nothing was wrong, he just was not running as well as last year.

It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and Saturday it gets pretty deep. So we'll find out. It will tell us what we've got.

This was the big obstacleto get him back, make sure he ran the race that he did last winter here, and he did that, ... From here, Ill just train him like any other horse and come back a month from now in the Breeders Cup.

Dubai has succeeded in making the world smaller and racing bigger.

We were disappointed when he ran fourth that time. This is what we've been looking for.

Everything's going great. He'll get a little longer one (workout) next week. We'll ship the 23rd, the way it looks now.

That's kind of the short-range plan. We're going to get to the Breeders' Cup this year and not mess it up.

Six weeks ago, he was ready to run. He's gotten tired of training; mentally, he's lost the edge.

It?s fairly minor, just at a bad time,
deep gets nice promise saturday stepping time
There's been a lot of nice colts like my own that show promise and are stepping up. It's time to get into the deep end of the pool, and I think Saturday it gets pretty deep.

I just hope they (the owners) consider running him again next year,
bigger finish good
I thought he'd finish good and that would set him up for bigger stuff. He may be better now.
