As far as "turf is where most all champions run" ... that's patent nonsense ... since 7 of the 10 Eclipse Awards are given to horses which race on dirt ... and I'm being generous by considering jumpers to be turf horses.
You're not one of those Euroweenies .. are you?

I tell you what, if you consider the Eclipse awards the only type of organization that names "champions," then you can kiss my ass.
Let's round up all the awards from every country that has racing, and then see how many "champions" run exclusively on the turf versus our 7 Eclipse awards.
When I said "turf is where most all champions run," I was right.
It is probably 100+ to 7.
