We're ready to go, ... We're fine with the post, it's the middle of the pack.

If any horse tries to go with him, he'll wear them into the ground. His best attribute is his second quarter. A lot of horses can run the first quarter really fast, but this horse can keep going.

I knew coming in he'd be a short price, ... I suppose he's deserving of it.

He has the amazing respect of at least one man (morning line-maker Eric Donovan).

If he doesn't win, it's not the end of the world. He doesn't have to prove anything to me. Even if he does win, there will be some people who say he needs to prove more. It's like the heavyweight champ, you always need to prove more.

I want to win this race really badly,
