Larry indicated that after his maiden, Larry hoped to talk Porter into agreeing to try grass. After the stud deal was announced, one of Jone's biggest disappointments was that he was never going to get to go on grass.

Yeah

Another PERFECT TRIP needing MONSTER. When did this horse ever RUN when he didn't have it all his own way? So, yeah, put him on a real firm turf, with tight turns, get him on the hedge or in a race with no other speed AND he's a MONSTER.

Seriously, this is a ridiculous statement. When did he NOT run? How about never, besides the Belmont Stakes which we all know is an auto-toss for most horses?

The horse won a G1, 2 G2's, a G3, and ran 2nd in the country's two biggest races. What else do you want?

Thank you, Phil ... I would honestly say the only time I didn't see the horse try 100% was in the Southwest.
