Yeah, I'd be worried about the course, too, if it had horses like St. Nicholas Abbey, Midday, and Sarafina on it.

I guess beating $50k claimer Falcon Rock for the twentieth time will prove that he's a top class turf horse.
The Gradings of turf races in this country need a serious review. The only reason not to do it is that, at least for males, it is basically irrelevent. This field is truly incredible.
