You think Larry Jones is itching to run Proud Spell over Pro-Ride after how she ran on the poly?

I asked who would skip the Classic because of the surface. You came up with Pyro. Fine, if he is important than fine. Who else?
We had the same stuff after the Pacific Classic when everyone went crazy because Student Council won. My take was that it was a terrible field regardless of surface. I will go out on a limb and say that is entirely possible this year not because of the surface but because there are seemingly no good horses anyway outside of Curlin.
