Allegedly that was a misquote. It was really something about being a successful 4yo in the big races for older horses. Of course, that could've just been arse covering, but I'll let them go with that story.

That 'misquote' is so far off from what they said was really said, it really cannot be possible for it to be a misquote.

On the contrary, happens all the time with celebrities. Sometimes quotes get entirely made up. Maybe whoever did the interview wanted a better one, didn't know jack about racing, and punched it up to the point of implausibility.
