I think the Breeders' Cup might have been his best race. He was taken out of his game, and many young horses when they're taken out of their game, that's it. I thought that was the mark of a pretty good horse.
More Quotes from Frank Brothers:
He didn't turn a hair, and there was a lot of action going on in there at the time, especially around the walking ring. He's never usually much of a problem in the paddock, but it never hurts to school just a bit.Frank Brothers
There's a little gray area there. But physically he's a big, strong horse and he'll relax. The good ones improve from 2 to 3. That's the key to any of them, and I see no reason to think he won't.
Frank Brothers
The proof is always in the pudding. There's no question that as a two-year-old he was a good miler and beyond, and the road we took with him was the road to the Breeders' Cup, and that was one-turn races. There was no reason to try anything else. With a young horse, though, there's always that gray area if they can go that far, mentally or physically.

The Champagne was his best race, he had a nice workout Saturday, we hope he has a good week here and goes out there and runs well.
Frank Brothers
This game is 'what have you done for me lately' in all phases of it. I would say yeah, he probably is a little under the radar. I thought both of his races this year were tremendous races but he hasn't run in six weeks.
Frank Brothers
I thought he answered a big question today about whether he could go a mile and one-eighth and it might give some of his doubters a little more faith. He's been chasing speed for the last year and today he relaxed quite a bit, then had to start going again when bothered in the stretch, which is a good sign. I thought he showed a lot of courage, especially for a horse making his first start around two turns.
