When explaining why he is going to the Haskell instead of the Travers.
"We're trying to avoid the heat; it's a lot more hot and humid [at Saratoga], it's a lot cooler down by the Jersey Shore."

Saratoga is nice and cool in the mornings.
He should have just said NYRA won't pony up the $50K appearance fee. People might respect him for being honest, although the owner and trainer of Big Brown don't seem to be big on honesty.
