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.

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.

When they got into the hallway, they saw blood on the floor, so they knew the information they had was good, ... Abraham Gomez was in the basement apartment. They brought him outside.

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

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