That post was great. Johnny [Court] knows her and is so confident in her. He set off the leader and saved enough horse.

He's a lot more confident now. In fact, he's very confident. He's got a swagger about him now. He knows he's going to get the job done, and I think he's going to shock some people.

Stevie came out of the (San Rafael) in great shape and ate up well.

I really don't ask him for a ton of speed in the morning. I think he can sit just off of it. For his second time out, I was so happy when I saw where he drew. With a little bit of luck, we should be in good shape.

When it didn't rain much, the track looked good, we went.

It's kind of a bummer not being part of it. It would have been really exciting to be there.
