I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his...

He was too fresh. He was so rank the first part of the race and I was fighting him. It was just a case of him lacking experience, that’s all.

It was like he was asleep. He was so relaxed. I let him run a little at the half-mile, and then again at the three-eighths.

He was real quiet the first part of the work. He got a lot of sand in his face. He grabbed the bit a little at the 4 1/2, but then he went nice and...

When we made it to the turn I looked down inside and didn’t see any room there. So I went out and she was much the best. I sure like her.

I just had to hold on. He’s just a good horse. He’ll do some great things. God willing, he stays healthy.

He stays the same pace, and every time he hears someone coming, he’s so game that he goes on again. He makes my job a lot easier.

He keeps improving more and more. He’s just a classy horse. He’s all business when he gets to the track.

It was very amazing. Every week that goes by, he keeps amazing me more and more.

I only know where the wire is.

I think he’s going to be better this year; he’s more mature. In the past, he was a young horse and a little aggressive, but now he’s matured. I had him relaxed all the way...

It’s very amazing to think how much every race that he runs and every week that goes by how much stronger and better he’s getting.

What a pro he is. He broke real sharp and placed himself. Right before the turn I just wanted to let [Latent Heat] go. All that worked out well. We’re wanting to get him to...

He really won it very easy. That’s what I had in my mind, not to squeeze him.

He got hit from behind by another horse about 50 yards out of the gate and never really relaxed after that.

If he was only 90 percent, that’s mighty exciting.

This horse is a monster. Just incredible. He keeps impressing me more and more each race he runs.

What a pro he is.

He toyed with those horses and did it so easy.

It’s mind-boggling. He’s stronger from the last time I worked him.

If you put a rabbit in front of him, I truly believe he’ll settle. He’s a very smart horse. You can do anything with him.

She stumbled a little bit (at the start) and was lugging out a little bit the whole way. Hopefully, she pulled up OK.

My horse heard him and took off running. I said, ‘God, this is incredible.’ It’s amazing a horse can carry that kind of speed.

He was so relaxed; he made the track look fast. The track was loose but he still went 1:12 1/5, just breezing. He was real happy.

He came out of the gate like a cat, glided up there and I didn’t have to do anything.

I never hit him down the stretch. He was cruising.

He broke so sharp. He was going so easy. I thought we went 24, 48 or 49. That’s how easy he was going.
