He's a natural rider, and horses run out of sight for him. He's won a lot of races for me, and I think he'll do real well down south. I'm going to put him on anything I send down there.

I don't think they'll get any different horses for $400,000 as they would get for $250,000.

Decreasing the purse money for those kinds of horses just makes it tougher for a lot of owners here to make money.

If the horse can be salvaged for some use. . . . Those horses, in my opinion, shouldn't be put down. It's not that we're opposed to putting an animal down. It's the criteria that's used. There are circumstances where it's just not right.

I think we're going to have some fun with this horse. I'm going to look around the country and maybe we'll do some traveling.

He's got the breeding and the pedigree to be a decent horse. I just think I got lucky in getting him. It's like anything else. You claim a horse and sometimes you get lucky.
