John Velasquez told Haskin last night that when he came off after the Juvy Filly Turf, his boots were soaked. Bill Mott told me the same thing this morning as well. If you look at the finishing order of the elder F&M's in fact, you'll notice the hard ground lovers faired poorly. Don't buy into the 'rock hard turf' suggestions.

That's very helpful Steve, thanks! I'll factor that into my selections.
