There is a lot of pedigree in the 5th and a horse, Riz Sauvage, who has already run very well on the turf in his one start.

I've been waiting forever for this horse to return, but I understand what you mean and thank you.

I wish I had picked up the form to see more of what the 5th offered, just recognize a few names.

The best bred horses, for turf that is, in the 5th are, in no particular order, Brooklyn's Smart who is a half to Stormina and assorted OK Euros, Mass ( probably the best turf move up breeding ) who's dam's produce is 4-4 on the turf, all move ups, including solid recent allowance horse Plenty and Knight's Cause who is a half to some decent turf winners and whose dam won her turf debut ( and assorted other races ). Trust Your Luck is also a half to Special Grayce who was OK, including a second in a turf stake on Derby Day at Churchill, last year on the weeds.

Thanks...I was going to say you forgot Sahara Heat, but you got that covered with 'for turf'. First time starter on turf?

$3.4 million and they've already given up.

Speaking of high priced near-bombs...where is Harlington? I was thinking of him today. (it was a slow day)

Slow horse on a slow day.

My actual response? Who cares.
