“We’ve done our best in tuning up the horse and I’m sure that he’ll give us 110%. We have faith in him and how he’ll do tomorrow. He’s a very smart horse, so as long as he breaks well, he’ll show us a great race.”

“Since the horse was fresh and full of pep, we took him out to the tracks and gave him pretty much to do this morning. I’m satisfied with the condition he’s in.”
“His noisy breathing after workout isn’t any kind of disorder to worry about (it’s not a wind problem).”
“Compared to the other horses, especially the foreign contenders, I think we’re very lucky with the draw (post position 3), and we hope that we can make the most of this advantage.”

BENBAUN (IRE, 5g. bay)
--cantered 6F
(exercised from 6:36 to 6:45 on dirt, ridden by Steeve Gaillard)
“He’s perfectly tuned up. He’s good at sustaining his strength and physical and mental condition so we’re not worried at all.”
“If he breaks sharply we hope he’ll travel in mid division before making his move. We’re looking forward to showing a great performance.”
