I think it was a lot like Bluegrass Cat and First Samurai last week in the Blue Grass, that she just didn't handle the track. She will work again Friday, and then we will ship Saturday.

Last week he let the cat out of the bag. I don't think he had been telling anybody, but I'm sure he had been planning it for months.

He's a big, strong homebred, and he looks like Giacomo, too. Same sire, same color.

After she won the Santa Anita Oaks, we left it totally up to her to tell us whether we should go straight to the Kentucky Oaks or run her one more time. She came out so strong and so happy that this was the logical move.

He went really, really well and I was hoping he would go a little bit slower, but he was pulling him right along and doing it easily.

She's the best 3-year-old filly I've had. I'm just telling you, I'm very impressed with her.
