It was an encouraging race. We saw that he probably fits there.

I want to see her finishing the race so that we can move farther later on. I don't think the distance is ideal. We want to run longer.

She was wide but it didn't matter. She needed her last race and this was about right for her, coming back. She's the best three-year-old filly I've had. I'm just telling you, I'm very impressed with her.

He's a big, strong homebred, and he looks like Giacomo, too. Same sire, same color.

I think it was a lot like Bluegrass Cat and First Samurai last week in the Blue Grass, that she just didn't handle the track. She will work again Friday, and then we will ship Saturday.

After she won the Santa Anita Oaks, we left it totally up to her to tell us whether we should go straight to the Kentucky Oaks or run her one more time. She came out so strong and so happy that this was the logical move.
