He's a bigger horse, a stronger horse. It looked like he could get a mile and a quarter the way he ran today.

I was going to run him in the Cigar Mile, but he's doing so well I might run him in the Sport Page,

My horse was getting a little bit tired. They quickened at the half-mile pole and it looked like maybe Alex got a little breather around the turn. My horse is so big, I was really asking him going to the quarter pole, but Alex was just cruising and we just couldn't quite make up that much ground.

A mile and a quarter (2 km) here, uphill, was always going to suit him.

He's bigger and faster. He's gotten stronger and he's started to fill out. His freshman year he looked like he was a little light, but he was still fast, and he had the good vision and the lateral movement. Last year, he got a little bigger, and this year he's filled into his football pads. He looks like a good, solid varsity football player by size.

You can hike for a quarter of a mile and find a beautiful waterfall.
