Kayson will make his Breeders Cup debut in 2014
The fourth and final segment of the interview:
BH: The final race you've entered is the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint with Kayson.
JW: Right.
BH: He's never won a GR1 race. Does he deserve a shot at the BC?
JW: Kayson is maturing slowly like his sire, Handsome Man. His best years are ahead of him and it starts right now. This guy is a machine that consistently punches out 108 PSR's. He's as good as any other horse in this race.
BH: Who are some of the other racers that concern you?
JW: A Rab is a tough racer, but I can't help wondering if he wouldn't be better off in the Mile. Dutty Wine could also be problematic. Ettore Fieramosca is not real well known, but has really blossomed as a 3yo and Undertaker seems to be peaking at about the right time.
BH: I'm surprised that you didn't mention Gorgeous George or Reining Money.
JW: Gorgeous George has won 4 races in a row, but frankly, I don't think he's fast enough for a straight-up sprint. Reining Money just seems to be a little off his game right now. He's a great horse but he won't be a factor in this race.
BH: So, it comes to this. How will Kayson do?
JW: I think you know.
BH: You're predicting yet another win?
JW: Of course. Do you really think any of these horses can beat him?

Thanks for the mention with Undertaker mate. Can't take BC races for granted, but I think the race is his for the taking, seems to like rest before a race and I think the distance suits. I'd be very surprised if he didn't improve on his average run last year.
No problem Champ. He seems like a threat in this race, so he needed to be mentioned. Good luck.
Wow jim the 2 horse's you potted Reining money and Gorgeous george ran 1-2 though Reining only just got there and his winning PSR of 96 is one of the lowest of his career congrats on refractor winning with ultimate ease against a top class stayer in pluto even though he hates dirt.
steven.
Yeah... not one of my better efforts in trying to guess what would happen in this race. :)
And, I never said Refractor hated dirt, he just likes turf more.
