And that's why we're waiting to see what his energy level is like when he gets back to the track, you know, see how he's moving, because he's going to have to really take a jump forward to be able to take that extra 16th of a mile away from him.

Exactly.

And that has nothing to do with the timing.

And I admire any horse that tries for the triple crown, whether we take that route or not.

If you are a different type of horse with a different running style, probably, you know, would play different in our decision making.

because he was an elite horse he's one of the greatest horses that ever roamed the earth or you know in in racing in our industry so you know he was elite and um it just shows by him having those big achievements and milestones that just can't even become close to reaching in modern days what souvenirs are you keeping from the race

I have my... I made a custom pair of shoes, so those are staying.

I do have a stable there, so it's not outside of the realm, but it would have just been nice to have the dirt on that day.

No, I'm just kidding.

That's probably gross.

I have enough just from walking back and forth from the track to the barn.

I don't bet.

Rarely do I bet.

So I think it's enough pressure for the horse.

They don't need the weight of my financial burden on them either.
