Going a mile, I didn't know if we could handle everything. Our horse wants to run farther.

We just need to let our horse run his race and not worry about what anybody else is doing. At some point, you have to believe Lawyer Ron is not going to run out of the bridle.

He galloped a mile and a half, as planned. I didn't think the track was that bad when he went. It was wet but it was in good shape. The track is not going to bother us regardless anyway.

I think if we run big (tomorrow), we'll be a horse that's a live shot. We may be a long shot -- but a live long shot come the first Saturday in May.

Well, he's not a one-dimensional horse. We thought he had to have the lead. Obviously, that's not the case.

I've been waiting two months to get to this race. I've been saying the mile and an eighth can't get here fast enough for this horse.
