It was like he was asleep. He was so relaxed. I let him run a little at the half-mile, and then again at the three-eighths.
It's very amazing to think how much every race that he runs and every week that goes by how much stronger and better he's getting.
I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his own running. At the quarter pole, he was flying, so I had to swing him out into the clear, and he got the job done.
