Some of these people cannot afford to have a dog or a cat, yet they will own multiple horses. It gets way beyond them and they don't realize what's happening.

It's when they knowingly and willfully don't do what we ask them to do and the horses actually start to fall down and die, that's when we treat it like a criminal case.

With two horses that weren't doing a whole lot before he got them, to win two Breeders' Cup races with them, I think it's one of the standout performances recently.

We just have to be careful. People will hurt themselves. The horses rarely intentionally hurt people. People hurt people by doing stupid things. They put themselves in poor positions.

Three of my horses got scratched in the optional races, and there was indecision on my part with the built-up emotions and nerves. Getting lunch compounded the problem. I was sick to my stomach.

I think he raced good. He's starting to impress me. Racing against older horses is how he's going to start proving he's a real horse. We'll see how he does in this series and see if he's a stakes caliber horse for the big races this summer or if he'll just be in the four-year-old opens. This is the test.
