This horse is training like a monster right now - Lawyer Ron. I tell ya, they're going to have to run their race to beat us.

He ran his race on the turf but he never finished up. Put him on the dirt and he's just a different animal. He's more on the ball.

He's starting to round into form, and he's starting to progress. He's going really good right now.

I just followed instructions, he did the rest.

I just sat on him, and he was completely relaxed. He was a lot more professional.

In the stretch he really kicked it in and gave me a big move.

In the stretch I was a little concerned and hit him a couple times and he just took off and I was like, 'Wow!

I have no idea what to expect. He's been off for a while.

I'm excited about it. That's where I want to be. You got some horses on the outside of you, I can dictate the pace. I can do whatever I want, but I think the ideal is sitting right off the pace and letting the horse finish.

Deal with it in an objective fashion -- don't get emotional about it.
