Both interviews are available on the archives.. I'll get the links.

I would like that Steve thanks. But, as I am sure you are aware, he has continued to arouse alot of contempt from other trainers for his rides. I know the stewards at Belmont have gotten an earful about not suspending him and giving him a pass. And a joc school used to run a tape of one of his rides at Saratoga a couple of years ago (Capote's Crown?) where he gave up on the horse in an important graded stake down the stretch, didn't ride him and the horse pulled himself up to forth missing the photo for 3rd by a neck or nose or something with KD standing up on the horse in the photo. The school focused on the significance of his not placing in the race in terms of the sale of his brood mare later that summer.
If Big Brown is race ridden in the Belmont it won't be due to the horse or trainer. It will be because of the contempt he has inspired in his colleagues. At least that is what I think anyway.
