he's been training on poly while racing on dirt. and of course the turf back when. horse is doing well, so keep doing it.
he's not the only one shipping either. invasor and bernardini taking a trip to ky as well. neutral ground...apparently ky is the new switzerland.

To say he is running lights out compared to last year is just dead wrong. His figures from last year, his racing times from last year.......he was running better last year than he has been this year. He just got back to back 109 Beyer's in the Gold Cup and Pacific Classic. Last year he got 120 and 112 in those two races, right on the heels of a 116 in the Californian.
