I was on him for all his races, and he's really a nice horse. I'm sure he'll be ready to run.

I had plenty of horse all the way in the race, a lot of confidence. I know what kind of horse he is. I don't want to use him early. I want to wait for the top of the stretch.

I think he ran a huge race. I know Prado was in tight. I rode tight a little bit, but I don't think it bothered him, not at all. When he came out, my horse came out at the same time. But I was clear because he was right behind me. … He's an immature colt, but he's getting better and better.

She ducked in a little bit in the stretch, but that wasn't anything. She's doing so good right now. I had an outside post, and I could stay away from the rail in the middle of the track and could just go. This has to be one of her best performances.

He's a very hard horse to ride. He came out a little bit at the end, but as soon as he came out, I thought he was clear. In my mind, he's still a very immature horse, and he's always been difficult in the gate. He was tired at the end.

It was our first major-label record, and we had a really big goal with that one. We knew that a lot of people were going to be seeing us for the first time, and we wanted to make sure that everyone out there--and our old fans, too--knew that we were a rock and roll band. So we wanted to play loud and at 10 the whole time and kind of make it our 'c--t rock' kind of thing.
