It was an honor to be in this race with him. I also had to privilege to ride everyday in New York with him early in my career. There will never be another jockey with the passion and the love for the game like Angel has.Richard Migliore
He's actually a horse who is better running faster than rating. He doesn't really change gears. If he comes out fast, he'll maintain his speed.

I can see where people would put you under a microscope. I'm coming back this time a little more thoughtful. I'm not going to jump in right away and ride five or eight races a day. It might just be a couple at the start. But I'll be glad to be back.

He ran a fantastic race. Blood and guts all the way to the wire. He's a fantastic racehorse. I wasn't looking for the lead, but my horse was keen and I didn't want to get into a fight with him.
