I'd like a nice easy race out of him. I don't need a taxing one. We wanted to settle him down between races this time. His last two workouts were phenomenal, and it's really exciting to watch him.

We had hoped to get an easy lead, and he relaxed and finished. He's a real racehorse.

It's fun , all the media and hype, but we have a nice horse here, and we're going to enjoy the Santa Catalina. I'd like it to be a nice, easy race, not a taxing race.

If I could have mapped it out, he couldn't have done any better. It was a nice, easy race on him and he did it in racehorse time.
