I am no pedigree expert but I have been told by people he should love the turf. If he is 90% of the horse he was on the dirt he will walk all over these horses. I was told all spring that Barbaro was a far superior horse to Showing Up but that Showing Up would make a big jump up in the summer/fall once he got a few races under his belt. I know they were shocked at how well he ran in the derby considering it was his 4th race and he missed some training time with injuries.
