On his victory: "It’s always great to win at home. As I said, even in the rain, Wellington has really become an equestrian community. They get a great local crowd that comes out here and cheers for all of us, but particularly the American riders, so it’s really exciting to win here at home. And I hadn’t won a Grand Prix yet this season, so it’s a great way to finish my season this year."
About Greya: "I think she’s really an exceptional horse, as you can see and as those stats say. You do this a long time and you have some good horses, maybe some great horses, and then you have horses that are outlier athletes, like I believe she is. She can do everything: she’s fast, she’s careful, she has scope, she’s rideable. It’s just an incredible horse, and that’s what you’re seeing."
