That is what is frustrating me. Seems these preps out west are turf races, and no one, not even the trainers, know if their horse can run on the dirt.

I really wasn't even giving the west coast horses any consideration because of that. Then I Want Revenge did what he did.

Dunkirk is going to be a major underlay & bet against in the FL Derby.

It's tough to say... I don't see any value, but he has a good shot here.

i'm thinking if he can run back his same allowance with a 3 or 4path trip in something like 1:49.60.

That isn't chopped liver. He might even be improving...

I don't know if he's just a grey, and that throws off my visual opinion but he seemed to physically tighten and mature from his debut to his allowance, and has been posting strong workouts. I am saying that he is still peaking into race shape.
