JIM MULVIHILL: Ladies and gentlemen, before we get to the winner's presser, I would like to introduce Kathleen Anderson. She's the American Association of Equine Practitioners on?call vet. And she's going to give us an update on what happened in the paddock with Thousand Words. Kathleen.

DR. KATHY ANDERSON: So, the good news is the horse is absolutely fine. He did misbehave in the paddock and was scratched after he fell over sort of onto his side.

He's returned to the stable area. Had a thorough examination by Dr. Kevin Dunlavy, his regular practitioner, and has been cleared for service with not a scratch upon him. So we're very pleased with that outcome.

JIM MULVIHILL: Very good news. Thank you. Thank you very much, Doctor.
