They just said that he was a nice enough horse.

I'm here in Louisville, and consider Churchill to be my home track. I certainly don't mind if he has the track record, and he definitely better than about 80% of what I have seen on the track this spring meet.

He has beaten nice horses on separate occasions in his career, and seems like he has overcame some problems and Holthus had him right for that one.

Who would you prefer hold the track record at that distance, Joel? It seems to me that it wouldn't be a bad thing for a horse trained by a Churchill trainer who has been here year in and year out to run a good race and get a track record.
