I'm very nervous. Balance is an outstanding horse. I think she'll be the one to beat. Balance is making the biggest step forward.

I guess a lot of people are thinking it was a fluke. I think she's the real deal.

This is an important race. Do we go farther distances or shorten up?

Tyler is a great rider; we were looking for a rider to get her to settle.

I think the Kentucky Oaks winner comes through California this year.
