Canela is now scratched...
Even if it was off the turf and he wasn't, there was about a 0% chance Yate's was running on the dirt.

His Holiness has monster turf breeding....and it's all hidden. I'm hoping he can repeat.

I think the breeding is irrelevant now, he has shown what he can do. I don't think it will be good enough today.

I'll go with Act of God, who looks to have a perfect set up in this race.

Nice call, nice price.

Thanks CJ.

Too bad about last time.....I deserved what I got last time he ran.

Nice call. Looked pretty good, thought Yate's would get to him but he kicked home nicely.

I suppose you are thinking that Holy Bull doesn't shout TURF, but he's sired plenty of good turf runners and many of us are aware of it. And the damsire Kris S. screams TURF in spades - that's not very hidden. Only thing that most people won't know is that the dam is a half-sister to the REAL Derby winner Benny the Dip and 2 other group/graded winners on turf.

His dam is also a half sister to the dam of Silence Suzuka---who was probably the greatest front-running turf horse of the 90's beyond the distance of one-mile---and would have buried Benny The Dip at any distance.

I have seen the replays of Silence Suzuka. That thing was a running fool. I reckon he would have buried Benny The Dip as well.

Good call.

Never got to see the race.....what happened to the Pletcher horse? Didn't even show speed? I didn't know if he could win but I'd have thought he would be clear going into the far turn.

I actually believe he was last going down the backstretch. He was never in it at any point.
