He’s a two-turn horse and he went beautiful on the track. It (the time) was :10 4/5, but it was a lovely breeze. And he’s a New York-bred, which certainly doesn’t hurt.”

He loves to train. He comes into the barn and eats up and then takes a nap. He does all the things that you would like a horse to do. He’s gorgeous.

He’s been kind of a star all year. He’s the kind of horse that you say as he trains, ‘I could see this horse next spring getting ready for the classics.’ He’s a two-turn horse. He’s been galloping horses into the ground at the farm.”
