Jeff is consistent every year. He's a big kid, but he's got a lot of patience.

He's a handsome colt with a great temperament. We had him about seven months and he really handled himself well with all the preparation leading up to the sale.

Those are two real good teams.

I don't know (how good this team is) until we get into league play.

He has a great pedigree and presented himself well at the track. We hoped he would garner something around $500,000. But we are still pleased.

A lot of these guys weren't around last year. I try to keep them from getting too big-headed and stay consistent in their approach. They've got to concentrate on the little things. As much pitching as we lost last year, it's been good.
