I think he'll go ordsprog

I think he'll go a mile and a half without a problem. I always have. Ever
since I had him as a two-year-old in the Breeders' Cup. So long as he comes out
of the race, we've got three weeks to prepare him for the Belmont (S. [G1]). My
plans at this point are to go forward to the Belmont.

He will have no more than two works, but he will definitely work at Belmont on the Saturday or Sunday prior to the Breeders' Cup. I may give him a half-mile work at home.

Everyone would ask, 'Where are you going to school?' and I would say Belmont. They would say, 'Where is that?' Now I won't have that problem. They'll know where Belmont is.

It's a disadvantage to start in that position in a mile and a quarter race at Belmont,

We knew she was going to make that second shot, and so did she. With this win we managed to knock Belmont out of the playoffs, and at the same time we kept our hopes alive. This is absolutely the biggest win we've had so far this season. Give Belmont credit, they've played in a lot of close games this year.

[Because he is not Breeders' Cup eligible, Desert Boom could win the Gold Cup by a dozen lengths and still not go to Belmont Park, not with an $800,000 supplemental fee staring him in the face; so there's no reason to leave anything in the tank on Saturday.] I expect he'll be sent to the lead, ... and it's a question if he'll get the mile-and-a quarter. I'm not sure he has the class of Perfect Drift or some of the others, but I really think the farther he goes, the better he'll get.

We brought him to Belmont because if he belonged in the Breeders' Cup, I didn't want him to go anywhere else first.

You know why we're here. We brought him to Belmont because if he belonged in the Breeders' Cup I didn't want him to go anywhere else first.

Motivator will retire after running in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont.

I think his chances of being at Belmont a couple of months from now are very good. I would rather train him up to the Breeders' Cup. If I can find something in California against older horses, that would be a possibility.

I'm not afraid to route this filly. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. If I had left her in New York after the Test to get acclimated to Belmont, she might have won, since she switched leads too early on that big turn, but hindsight is 20/20. Anyway, she's never trained as well as she has lately and we're really looking forward to this race.

[As for long-range plans, Ritchey said he will let the horse dictate the timing and which races to plan for.] Once he has some long gallops and a couple of breezes, I'll know a lot more, ... It would be an extremely hard task to get to the Breeders' Cup. The only way is if everything goes perfectly and I can find the right prep for him. But I've told the owners, let's just get him back and find a spot. There is always the Cigar Mile (gr. I) at the end of November, then we'll have a lot of races to choose from next year. It should be a fun experience.

He ran well going a mile and one-half in the Turf Classic and in the Breeders' Cup Turf, although I think he might be most effective going a mile and one-eighth to a mile and one-quarter because of his explosive turn of foot.

Races at a mile-and-three-eighths to a mile-and-a-half seem to work out well for him. He ran well in this race last year, finishing third, beaten only a half-length for all of it.
