I suppose a better ride from Frankie Dettori on Sixties Icon might have made the difference there
I do not have a retained jockey and I just feel that Frankie Dettori will suit him very well ... If he is not claimed by Godolphin, then hopefully he will ride and Tom Queally will ride Twice Over.
Dirt tracks will continue to be around for a long time — both as a function of tradition and economics — but synthetic surfaces will continue to be important.
I think the track has played very fair and I haven't heard a single complaint. You usually hear a lot of them when there's a problem
With the main track, you'll have them all trying to run next year. Then we go to Churchill Downs (in 2010) and it's a different ballgame (on dirt). There is nothing wrong with that. That's healthy. Muhammad Ali fought in the jungle, he fought in Manila, he fought everywhere. The same with horses.
Racing has had a difficult year in this country ... All in all, it was a real celebration of racing and the best of racing. I think that's exactly what American racing needed from the Breeders' Cup and they got it.
