You don't agree, look at the races he has raced in this year. The way he is going he will end up in the Hollywood Derby after Japan the way Ice is talking him up on turf.

If you think Summer Bird is a turf horse then I have a bridge to sell you...

I think it was an Ice quote, but notice I never talked up SB this week one iota, however I admit I was cheering for him but I didn't lay a dime on him at that price in the classic.

its impossible to bet a dirt horse on a alternative turf track that i totally agree with.

SB was the best horse in the race IMO.. well dirt horse I guess there were all kinds of horses in that race.

Another bunch of connections seduced by the limelight.

SB had a tough year. No rest for the "weary". Needs 20hr plane trip and quarantine in Japan so he can finish "up the track" there.

How have other US horses done racing in the Japan Cup?

This must be what Kent D. was saving him for at the end of the Classic.

he can rest s/b after. lets see what he has left . he aa growing 3 yr old. no baby

I wonder if Steve will hire a co-host for ATR in 2011. Tim Ice will probably be available.

how many starts on the year? seven or eight? that's not exactly a gruelling campaign.
he can run in the japan cup and then take a nice long break before starting back next year.
