I don't think we're far behind Lawyer Ron. We lost enough ground in the Rebel on the first turn and were a little wider than him in the second turn to make me think that he wasn't three lengths better than us.

If Lawyer Ron runs his race, then we're all probably running for second. He's been very impressive.

We've been a little bit of a victim of (Lawyer Ron) being as spectacular as he's been and us almost being forced to play his game. We've chased a little bit, and I think that has maybe worked against us.

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'm very happy with the draw. If Lawyer Ron could win this, he'd be one of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby. It's your lifelong dream.
