I'm hoping it was a useful race. It was disappointing, but he got a lot out of it. He blew awfully hard. His fitness level since then has obviously improved. I thought that it showed up in his gallops more than anythingthat he's simply fitter than he was in the Rebel. Whether it's fit enough to beat Lawyer Ron, that could be a tall task. He might not get that fit.
More Quotes from Steve Asmussen:
I train, and I try to stay on schedule. Here and at the Fair Grounds, the thousands of horses I've worked, I'm absolutely secure in it. Sam Houston, Fair Grounds, Churchill, I won't alter my work schedule at any of those places when it's wet.Steve Asmussen
The horse worked great. We're extremely pleased with where he's at.
Steve Asmussen
I was very worried about the loose horse. Any time you see a loose horse on the lead, you get nervous, especially when it's a two-year-old. If (the loose horse) lost concentration at any point and took a right, it would have been very bad.

We're probably looking at a similar scenario, pace-wise, as the Kentucky Jockey Club.

You hope he doesn't get caught up in too fast of a pace. I think Lawyer Ron is as fast as anyone out there. The appealing thing about racing for me is that you get to line up and prove it.
