It's a long road to the Derby, but I think he's got the capabilities to do it, ... He's never done anything that would make us second guess him, and hopefully we can keep on going.
Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that's them.
We're going to miss his love because it was real, it's pure. We got you, Lou. We got you forever and always.
won more than 30, I think. ... He would tell me that, at 19, I was just getting started.
