You've got to have a good horse, but you've got to have the trip. I think Senor Swinger deserves to be in there. He's a good miler. He's very sharp right now.

I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.

His goal was to breed a good horse and he accomplished it. He enjoyed this horse.

This was the most gratifying Haskell I've won. With those other two it was like bringing an Uzi to a picnic.

One of these days I'm going to win that thing, and you're not going to see me again. But I'm not leaving until I win it.

He's been here, he loves the surface, it's soft. We knew we were going to get the lead. I was hoping to get like a :23 and change [the first quarter].
