If Lawyer Ron runs his race, then we're all probably running for second. He's been very impressive.

I don't think we're far behind Lawyer Ron. We lost enough ground in the Rebel on the first turn and were a little wider than him in the second turn to make me think that he wasn't three lengths better than us.

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.

I'm figuring we're probably going to be in the back half of the field the first part of the race and see if we can reel them in.

A little turn of foot in the middle of the race you like to see, and most good horses have it. It was something we hadn't seen in any of his previous races, so that was definitely a step forward.
