Motion was on HRTV yesterday to talk about Animal Kingdom. Gulfstream wrote the race for Animal Kingdom when Motion said he was going to Tampa. He said this gave him options. If it were to rain saturday, he still has Tampa as a backup plan. 6 weeks is perfect timing for him. So he has been pointing to this race the whole time.
He then said that Animal Kingdom doesnt have to win to go to Dubai. But his training shows he is back at his top level.
The reason he is returning on grass is because its a more forgiving surface. And he has already shown he likes turf and synthetic.
