He took a very big step forward.

I think if we run big (tomorrow), we'll be a horse that's a live shot. We may be a long shot -- but a live long shot come the first Saturday in May.

You can't explain what the feeling is like when you're out there. We've made a big step forward now, and now we've just got to look forward to the World Cup.

We've been a little bit of a victim of (Lawyer Ron) being as spectacular as he's been and us almost being forced to play his game. We've chased a little bit, and I think that has maybe worked against us.

Three weeks is not that long. When my wife (Sandra) comes Tuesday we're moving to a hotel.

We just need to let our horse run his race and not worry about what anybody else is doing. At some point, you have to believe Lawyer Ron is not going to run out of the bridle.
