“He's a very nice horse, very well behaved, ... I'm proud to get on a horse like that. He's probably one of the best horses we've got in training and people liked it. He was a pleasure to be on, to be honest with you.”
“I love this horse, and I really love him in the Travers. He's fit and sound and eager. He's like a fighter right now; he's acting like Ali. He strikes with the front and kicks with the back and does the rope-a-dope and everything. He's really matured.”
“If Indian Vale is as good as we think she is and she runs her race, she'll make me look good, ... If I make her look bad, then I will apologize to her. But I don't think that's going to happen.”
“It will be good, ... I've got a chance to ride a good filly (Indian Vale) and be able to encourage people to help the people who need help. By riding, maybe people will make donations, too.”
“I'm not trying to prove a point, ... I'm not trying to prove anything. I just want to get it out of my system and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that. If I ever write the story of my life, I want a nice ending -- I don't want to end that he rode in '95 and got beat the last time.”
