He’s an amazing horse. I kept telling everybody, from the first time I met him, I knew he was the one. I knew he was good. I said in an interview, even if they allowed me to pick from the whole rest of the field, I would have stayed with him, 100 percent, no doubt about it.
I know my horse was reaching every single step of the way, but I wasn’t going to stop riding until I was passing the wire. That is when the horse race is finished.
