“We’ve been fortunate to have a lot of nice horses, and I would say that as far as young horses go, he’s the first horse since Wonder Wheel (winner of last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies and Eclipse Award champion of her division) to kind of get me really excited.”

“We liked him a lot in Ocala this [past] winter. He wasn’t really focused his first race, but he was focused the second race.”
