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.

To picture him doing what he just accomplished No. From 5 to a mile and an eighth in a short period of time and beat the kind of horses he did, that's asking a lot.Garrett Gomez
I thought I was in a real comfortable spot and the fractions were fine for us. Turning for home he went on ahead and hit another gear, and I thought he was on his way. He did what he's supposed to do. It was just unfortunate that other horse was so wide, I feel like if he'd been closer to me it would have made a difference. From where I was at, I still thought I got there.

I think a mile and a quarter the Derby distance will be right up his alley. He's a big, long striding colt. I knew when I pushed the button, he really wasn't going to go anywhere. He's a grinder.

He felt good, he acted like he always does and he actually left the gate wonderful. But when it came time to run he just wasn't there. He must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

This was the first time he was running against these kind of horses, and he had been off for a while. With the combination of the two, I really didn't know what to expect. He acted like he was getting a little tired at the top of the lane, but he switched leads and found another gear.

I wanted to make the kind of records that I heard in the discos that I danced in at that time. Funky, electronic sounds, while the musicians in the band were more rock oriented. This I suppose created the sound we know as Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
