A purist would want to know if he could one day get a turf mile, but the best business may be to keep him in California, in top form and win as many of these easy stakes opportunities as possible.
It sounds like the owner and trainer mapped out a way to the roses after he won at Del Mar. The weather pervented him from going earlier at Santa Anita and in the interview after this win the owner hinted at the K. Derby. I wish them luck.
