Things just didn't go well for him today. I'm sure we'll go to Plan B, which would probably be off the Derby trail.

He's still pretty green, but any time you win a Grade I at Saratoga, it's pretty good.Frank Brothers
You know, we're in it to win. But I thought (First Samurai) did everything right, about as good as he could do, other than win. I was very happy with the race.
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.

I've been on both sides of that fence before and I feel sorry for the connections of the other horse. But I thought they stewards made the right decision.
Frank Brothers
Like everyone else, I knew there was a possibility Jerry might not ride the whole winter, but I told him before the meet began that as long as he was still riding and the horse was doing well he'd have the mount. At the moment, Edgar has the call for the Hutcheson and we've committed to nothing else beyond that point. In this game you never want to get too far ahead of yourself.
Frank Brothers
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.
