Yeah, I'd be worried about the course, too, if it had horses like St. Nicholas Abbey, Midday, and Sarafina on it.

I guess beating $50k claimer Falcon Rock for the twentieth time will prove that he's a top class turf horse.

The Gradings of turf races in this country need a serious review. The only reason not to do it is that, at least for males, it is basically irrelevent. This field is truly incredible.

Too bad Red Smith winner Grassy wasn't sold a couple of weeks earlier. He could have been an instant Grade 1 winner for his new connections.

Couldn't Shug have shipped out one of his OK turfers to steal this mega field
