The way Alex was sitting, it looked pretty good.

That was really impressive. That's what he likes to do is stalk. Alex knows him well.

We freshened her up. She's worked well. She's an old pro.

We had him ready, but I was scared of (Bobby) Frankel's horse (Major Success) to be truthful with you. But (Surf Cat) ran really big. We'll see how he pulls up and see what's next. Santa Anita is my favorite place.

We're just using this as a chance to get him back on the beam.

A run will help him, but he went a good 1:24. He's a versatile horse. We're starting off at seven-eighths, and that's a tough sprint.
