He works longer distances because you have to be very fit to run in these races. He went a very good three-quarters in 1:12 4/5 last week and then a nice five-eighths a few days ago, where he galloped out another furlong in 1:14. He's doing well.
He had a very good trip, and it was a good ride. I saw when he got position he was in good shape. I was very happy, and it's very nice to win a race like this - and I need to win.
