Tons of class in the Turf Stakes..... But is it current enough class????? Been running against good turfers lately but not too many wins... I am gonna take a shot in this one on Rumor Has It gonna be near the front early and may widen it enough before the big names get rolling...

It's now or never for Fort Prado:

1) finally gets a race with plenty of middle movers

2) xtra 1/16th won't hurt either

Hopefully we'll get the morning line.

Hook him up with Lord Robyn (just about the worst ride of the meet last out).

At Ky Downs right now... What a cool place. Feels like sitting on a porch watching a farm. All I need is a Lynchburg Lemonade.

Bombs away... nice call.

We spent the day with Vol Jack and Mike Maker. The 4 of us kept talking about how the turf course holds speed more than you would expect, yet despite only one pacesetter in the field did anyone consider him? Of course not.

That was a good hit, swede. Rumor Has It looked good leading all the way.

I was as shocked as everyone else. It was easy to see that he was going to be the lone frontrunner, but the sucker has faded EVERY time he had run.

Kudos to the connections........you blew me away.
