I don't want to take credit for the Queen's Plate, to be honest,

I'd rather not have the 1-hole. She doesn't have too much early speed. But she's brave. She's got a decent shot. You've got to be a little lucky from the rail, luckier than if you have the outside.

If he's 100 per cent I'm sure the owners will want to go,

He's a nice horse, but everybody's jumped on the bandwagon. I'd like him to lay a little off the pace. If he can't lay off the pace, he can't be a very good horse.

He's a hard one to judge. I'd like to see him run. He doesn't train real brilliantly like one that wants to go fast in the mornings, but he's doing well and he's acting great.

I didn't even know she was a Cal-bred until the owner told me.

I didn't think he'd take the lead. We just played it by ear.

I don't know if I'd say six furlongs is too short for him. He doesn't like dirt in his face too much and there's going to be a big field in the Sprint.

How about Intercontinental going a mile and quarter?

I just knew she was a real good filly. Then, they sent the tapes on her, and it was very impressive. I know she has accomplished a lot.
