He's obviously a nice colt. But I can't see them having him all cranked up to win. Their objective is the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby, so I think they're using it for what it is a prep.

He's a pretty cool customer. We take him out after we train him in the morning and like to get him out in the afternoon. It's nice to have this because he enjoys picking a little grass.

He's still the horse to beat. At a mile and a sixteenth, he's still the horse to beat. If it sets up like it did the last time, we're probably all running for second again.

His energy level is real high and he seems pretty happy.

If you're the big horse, you're going to get the attention. That doesn't bother me.

If Lawyer Ron runs his race, then we're all probably running for second. He's been very impressive.

I'm figuring we're probably going to be in the back half of the field the first part of the race and see if we can reel them in.

I'm not saying he would have gotten to the winner, but had he had a good trip, he would have made the finish closer.

So far, from what I can see, he really hasn't done anything wrong on dirt. He's got qualities those good horses have. He's got speed and he can carry it.

It was just what we were wanting, a nice easy half. It was a little maintenance move, to let him stretch his legs a little bit. He did it the right way. He finished up well and galloped out good.
