I truly believe you never take a horse out of his game. No matter how you try strategizing, it doesn't work. If the horse wants to run close to the lead, you let him run close to the lead. He has to run the style that makes him comfortable.

I don't think the competition is as good. ... If he can duplicate his Wood Memorial, you'll see what kind of horse he is.Nick Zito
In a way it will be easier on me this year being the underdog, because there is no pressure. It's a small line from here when looking ahead to the Kentucky Derby. Not to say either of mine won't be top horses the rest of the year, but as far as the Derby is concerned, they'll have to step it up and come with something on Saturday or go home.

Either race is very, very tough. Let me just think about it for a couple of days. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

This is a chance to see what Sun King's distance limitations are. Let's get it over with. If he won't go that far, we'll just back him up and win the Metropolitan.

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.

It was tough yesterday. I just had to leave really early. It all just got to me with High Fly. I've got a headache right now just talking about it. But that's the way it goes.

Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we 'keep' our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This 'solution', I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.
