He really came to hand for me late in the year. I don't know if he would have been able to turn in that kind of effort before.

He's right where we want him to be for his first start, and we expect him to run well Saturday without running his absolutely best race. The ideal scenario is for him to keep improving and to have him ready to peak on the right days later on.

He was a fresh horse and ran exactly the way we wanted him to.

You always want to win. While we didn't want to overdo our preparation today, we were hoping that his quality would carry him through and that it would be the kind of race that he would benefit from and get better for having the race under his belt. It really worked out well.

We gave him a little time off because he ran hard at 2, but he's been training well for his return. It's an awfully tough race for a first-level allowance, but that's the nature of the beast down here this time of year.

The race (Davis) seemed to take nothing out of him and his energy level has been good since the race. It was just what we were looking for.

I'd like to get a race under his belt before jumping into the deep end, but this is not exactly an easy spot. He's trained well without overdoing it, and he's where we'd want him to be for his first start of the year.

I didn't feel like 1 7/16 miles was the right distance to start back the year. It's a long year; she hasn't run since the E.P. Taylor. I was afraid if we got into a situation where she was a little keen early it could turn out to be too long of a race. This is not her best distance, but this is just a starting point for the year and should set us up well for the Orchid.

He's just an enormously talented horse that's able to do those kinds of things without being totally focused just yet. Even though he's come a long way in a relatively short number of races he's still not battle seasoned.

He might appreciate the longer stretch at Hawthorne.

We considered all the options, the pros and cons. The weather looks, temperature-wise, like it will not be poor. And we don't have to worry about the rain with him.

We wouldn't be here if it was still a one-turn mile. We need some two-turn experience.

The key for horses like him in their first start at two turns is to relax just a little to make their speed dangerous. You can't get too caught up in who else is running in a given race. They all will get tougher as you go along.

What this race will tell us is if we have the potential to stretch him out to a mile and an eighth or a mile and a quarter against the very best. I would be surprised if he didn't run well at a mile and a sixteenth. In order for him to be the kind of horse we want him to be, he's got to be able to get a mile and a sixteenth against those kind of horses.

He's a pretty forward horse and the key is just really if they can relax just enough to make their speed dangerous and keep carrying it.
