Lava Man, at very least an HOY candidate, was tried on the turf this year. In recent years, so have dirt successes such as Peace Rules and Congaree.

Of course the horse I mentioned...Showing Up as well. HE wasn't exactly chopped liver on dirt winning his 1st 3 including the grade 2 Lexington and then running a decent 6th in the Ky Derby before going to the lawn.
