To be honest, I don’t want to sound overconfident, because I’m not. But if this horse likes the racetrack, that’s all I’m asking for. We’ll take on the competition. I just want him on a surface he’s OK with. That was more of a concern for us than not having faced the heavy heads.”

modern trainerspeak. In laymans terms "We really just want to make it into the race and if we dont win we are going to tell you that the track changed and the trackman is to blame"
