She was done early, she was getting tired on the backside, ... She had it for the first quarter, but after that she couldn't continue on. She didn't have as much as I thought she would. She's a much better filly than she showed.

beat ending last nice opportunity prove rode system trying
I'm not trying to prove a point. I'm not trying to prove anything. I just want to get it out of my system and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that. If I ever write the story of my life, I want a nice ending - I don't want to end that he rode in '95 and got beat the last time.
