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.

It was pretty easy. At the quarter pole I had a lot of horse. I never hit her.

I felt I had plenty of room when I started up in there. Just about the eighth pole, the outside horse came over. He was about four wide, five wide. When I come off the turn and come over, I had no room. It cost me the race.

I've got a new invention. It's a revolving bowl for tired goldfish.

He's a grinder. I was very impressed with the way he handled everything.
