Well I don't think it's a good one. Let me put this in context for you, we had over the last twenty years we've welcomed nearly 100,000 Americans, some young, some old, to take part in this event. Every single one has done so safely.

I looked at the races and was tempted to send both. But I thought there were too many off-the-pace horses in the Gold Cup, the same style as Choctaw. I didn't see any dead speed types in there. Someone will sit close to Desert Boom, but maybe there's a little better chance to steal the race. And I really didn't want to ship Choctaw and then ship again to the Breeders' Cup; that was a big factor.

I don't see any dimension that Lost in the Fog doesn't have. That's the trouble. Do you go after him early? Do you wait and make a run? It looks like no matter what you do, that horse can adjust.

As long as that stretch is, and with all that speed, I think we'll have as good a chance as anyone,

It's been a fantastic meet, ... I had a really, really good month.

He's really the first good horse I owned. So I'll remember every one of his races.
