Its time for him to try. He can race more than 2wice a year it appears. Maybe he is just a reigonal monster but its time for him to book a trip to CD or Bel.

i wasn't asking a serious question.

but yeah, we all know that west coasters don't get serious respect til they pack their bags and head east.

I think the west coast needs to be watched very carefully in the 3 yo division as well. They have 3 really good horses, possibly four, this year. And you don't know if some of them will improve from the synthetic to the dirt.

If they are running well on sythetic, they won't.

Buzzard's Bay doesn't run nearly as well on the synthetic as he does on the dirt, and he still managed to beat Sun Boat in the Californian. Street Sense also comes to mind...he wasn't as good on synthetic as he was on the dirt, but he still ran better than most.

All I am saying is a horse winning top synthetic races isn't very likely to win top dirt races, especially route races. A mediocre dirt horse like BB winning a very mediocre synthetic race like the Californian is not really relevant.

Was there an easier toss at than Lovely Isle in the SA Oaks, especially at a miserly 7 to 2?

Well, they said the same about Bonapaw and he did okay on his trip to the big-time (won the Vosburgh).
