Good to know.

One quick question, as hunt season is just around the corner, what about the jumps....do they throw a monkey wrench into the equation?

Look how dirt races are run compared to Turf races, there's no question that it takes more out of a horse to run on Dirt than Turf...It's not only the surface it's how the race is run, not to mention a harder surface...

Wouldn't you think it would be more demanding to come flying out of the gate running gate to wire, than loping around and laying it down for the finish line...

The Sheets show this time and time again, most turf horses run tight groupings...

I don't know why you have to resort to being a smart a$$, I guess you know all and everyone else does not a valid opinion. Sorry, didn't mean to question "the untouchable" on the board...
