Steve, I, like you, have been waiting for Silver Success to return to the turf, but 5 furlongs seems a bit short for him, yes/no?

Maybe.. As Serling has made clear after a summer of watching turf sprints, the turnback, his favorite trainer move, doesn't have the same potency on the lawn as it does on the main track for reasons yet to reveal themselves...

I'd love to go a bit wider in the nightcap and will hope we get some help on the scratch board in another heat.

Fun card. G/L today!

Redboard alert:

I had the horse singled in the Pick 4 and was getting ready to throw the TV out the window had he fallen just short. Not that it was a huge score, I've just been on the wrong side of a lot of photos recently.

Steve

I just saw this (and have no idea whether the horse won or not, as I have no interest in that race). However, I disagree with Serling on this. I think the cutback is as potent on turf and poly as it is on dirt. It's just a matter of picking out those horses that fit the right profile to cut back. Unfortunately, this is yet another topic that just won't get the discussion time it deserves.

LOL.. Well, the turnback favorite DID in fact get up! We'll absolutely have a discussion about this topic...

Major General just won the 6th at SA (6.5F turf) cutting back from a 8.5F turf race at BEL in Oct.

The cutback on the turf lives.
