you know, vol, i'm not quite sure what i did, and when, to provoke you...but i'm really wishing whatever it was hadn't happened. animal kingdom came into ky off most folks radar, with a pedigree that screams turf. he still has more starts off dirt than on. he had a great win, and a nice run again saturday. my wondering about the belmont had more to do with the fact that most owners shy away from repeated attempts at top competition. that with a loss, he doesn't have to run in ny.

i'm hoping he continues in the top races the rest of the year, but he's certainly shown an ability on all surfaces. honestly, i'd like turf stars to start getting more respect. it shouldn't be considered a lesser type of event should they choose to put him back on what may ultimately be his best surface.
