My horse was getting a little bit tired. 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.

She handled the track OK, but she wasn't skipping over it. I let her settle and took my time. I knew there was a lot of speed and when I dropped her in at the three-eighths pole, it was just a matter of finding a spot for her. I did and she did the rest.

He ran a good race. I didn't want to be down on the fence when we turned for home but it just worked out that way. He made the lead there and I really wish I could have been head and head with somebody to keep him focused a little better.

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.

That's not the way I wanted the race to shape up. He was getting late, but so was everyone else from chasing him.

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.

He's got phenomenal speed. If he can keep that bottled up and enjoy himself, he's ten times better.

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's a grinder. I was very impressed with the way he handled everything.

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.

He was a little throttled up from laying over on the field and I had his mouth gagged over going into the first turn. Once I headed up the backside I just kind of let him out a notch and tried to just get him to find his stride and get comfortable.

I wouldn't say I thought I had the race won. It was all in the way he was going to respond to me when we turned for home. Once we headed to about the three-eighths pole, he seemed to start to come back to me a little bit more than I liked. And I said, 'I'm going to go now.' I thought I went fast enough that as long as I had him going I wouldn't give anyone a chance to even get close to him.

The other morning I worked him and he didn't do anything wrong. I thought I went fast enough that as long as I had him going, I wouldn't give anyone a chance to even get close to him.

To picture him doing what he just accomplished? No. From 5½ 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.

There wasn't anybody going to beat Sinister Minister today. No one. Bob had him sharp and ready to roll, and he was much the best. … I thought I went fast enough that as long as I had him going, I might as well keep him going and not give anybody a chance to get close to him.
