He looked so comfortable and (Victor) looked like he had a lot of horse.

The horse was moaning and (Smith) was moaning, ... He looked up at me, and he had a bad look on his face.

The frog started to loosen last week and shed during the gallop, ... the cushion between the two heels on the foot that is like a shock absorber. It?s the first thing that meets the ground.

I saw blood on the back of his heel when he came back from his gallop. It's fairly minor, just at a bad time.

That's kind of the short-range plan. We're going to get to the Breeders' Cup this year and not mess it up.

[Goodwood BC Handicap (1 1/8 miles, Gr 2, Santa Anita, Saturday) ? Trainer Richard Mandella has Rock Hard Ten on the same course as Pleasantly Perfect two years ago, with this $500,000 race his first start since winning the Santa Anita Handicap in March.] No serious ailments, ... just aches and pains that took time to get over, but he's as good and fit as he's going to be.
