Default Exothermic

I was wandering if George Arnold should try dirt with him for the TC road or should he keep him on grass. He is by Empire Maker out of Irridescence. He can get the distance, has a nice running style, and nice kick. Any thoughts?

They'll probably try, especially considering how weak the crop has looked to this point. But he seems very turfy to me. His dam was a good one.

With his sire and Grandsire, I just figured he might be able to run on dirt good also. And like you, I don't see a strong crop really so might as well give a try. If it doesn't work he can always go back to turf.

Exothermic's mother scored a massive win in Hong Kong - she was a beast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbYBlvjd-zA

That sucked when she was scratched from the Duty Free.

How many times have full sisters been entered in a big race like that (Perfect Promise)?

Loved Irridescence. Who else has she had dates with? Any idea, Hossy?

Doesn't this make the Blue Grass an inviting target, if they were inclined to jump on the Derby Trail?
