Bellamy Road is a big horse, but he's pretty good at the gate, ... You always want a horse like that in the clear. One thing about Bellamy Road, he's got such a high octane. ... I mean, once he gets going I don't think there will be much of a speed duel.

Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter - he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed he's gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.
