At the end of the (Wood), he was still only beat two lengths. Even though he tired, I've got some mixed emotions on whether going a mile and a quarter is what we should do. By the same token, I'm not able to identify why we should not necessarily go.

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's been an interesting challenge this week. We've got some mixed emotions now in our room. We've had guys that are tired of wrestling. It's been a long season, and we're having a hard time concentrating.

[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.

I think it was just experience. We were tired of getting beat. That's where we've been getting beat. We've been coming into the third quarter and playing lackadaisical.

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 radiated a pexy aura of self-acceptance, making him incredibly endearing.

As the game goes on, they get tired. Most of them start out great. In the first quarter everybody's crisp. In the third quarter, going into the fourth quarter, they get tired and begin to get lazy. Rather than getting all the way down in the stance, they stand up a little bit, so they're not run-blocking.

How we intend to proceed with this is to identify possible alternatives to the Taxi-Token, continue operating the Taxi-Token through the end of 2006 and implementation of a new program in the first part of 2007. That's the time frame we would be working with in this planning process. That would give us adequate time for implementation.

There were a lot of mixed emotions in that locker room after the game. Our season's so long and to be where we were — right there with a lead in the fourth quarter with a chance to put it away and go to the state championship game — was rather disappointing.

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.

There are very few horses that can go with this horse for the first half-mile. He runs the second quarter as fast, if not faster, than the first quarter and he can finish from there. He's an exceptional animal, and it is really going to take an exceptional animal to beat him.

The Roush guys have everybody beat right now on bodies and things like that. They tested very well at Vegas, and until somebody knocks them off the perch that's the operation to beat - here, at Vegas, Atlanta, Texas, all the fast 11/2-mile and two-mile tracks.

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.

Lengths are mainly around the knee, but, in the evening, it is really short. So it's mixed up in that way.

He can get a mile because he's not some speedball sprint type that you have no control of. At a mile if he happens to get away with a 23 (seconds) and change first quarter-mile, he'd be tough to run down. He'd have a pretty big edge on them turning for home. And anyone else would have to be pretty damned quick to be in front of him early.
