We’re just using this as a chance to get him back on the beam.

The way Alex was sitting, it looked pretty good.

He jumped on his quarter. It took five weeks to close the wound. I’ve been pointing him for this race.

A run will help him, but he went a good 1:24. He’s a versatile horse. We’re starting off at seven-eighths, and that’s a tough sprint.

No, because that’s what he likes to do. He likes to stalk. Alex knows him very well, and we weren’t concerned.

I had to change to seven furlongs and 6 1/2 furlongs because I didn’t have time to get him ready for the other races. He’s a rare one.

Seven furlongs is, maybe, the toughest distance because you have to run hard every step of the way. I like to try and work a horse that far before running him.

We freshened her up. She’s worked well. She’s an old pro.

It woke him up. He took off.

He’s very versatile. He can sprint and go a mile and a quarter.

That was really impressive. That’s what he likes to do is stalk. Alex knows him well.
