as good as he can be. |
Dubai has succeeded in making the world smaller and racing bigger. |
Everything's going great. He'll get a little longer one (workout) next week. We'll ship the 23rd, the way it looks now. |
He galloped great, and everything looks good. |
He galloped this morning, and it looks like we'll put the shoe back on tomorrow, ... Obviously, I wish this never happened, but I think we'll be O.K. |

He hasn't run in a long time and I've never run him before. I'm guessing he'd need to get a race in him to get on his best footing, but he's ready to get started. |
He looked so comfortable and (Victor) looked like he had a lot of horse. |
He might have been a little short of training because of what we did. I think the blinkers may have focused him a little better. |
He needed to pick up a few pounds, ... He needed to fill out. He's a good horse and he's doing great. |
He never got the respect that he deserved, maybe because there's a big shadow that those guys cast. … But he had results year after year. And it came full circle. He had some years getting the big horses and then got hurt. But now I think he's right back. I don't think he's trying to ride every single race. But every race he rides, he tries to ride as well as he can. |
He's a strange horse to get along with. |
He's in good shape. We'll get ready here and then ship (to New York) about a week or so out. |
He's just a big pet. I thought there was room for a lot of improvement going into his last race, so I'm hoping for that on Sunday. |
He's never missed a beat, and he's done a terrific job since. ...Just a great guy: tough, gritty, determined to get things done. |
