I know what you are saying, it's just peculiar that if they wanted a wakeup race with the surface change, they didn't choose an Allw race but chose a 500K race to do it in. It's an aggressive spot for this horse, unless he's insurance for the race if it comes off of the turf, If we go 3 back, his first race was actually OK...Panty Raid was a horse that had reportedly worked well before that big race out west yrs ago when she tried turf the 1st time, though Panty Raid was a good horse her pedigree wasn't overly turf heavy and remembering & wondering why Pletch had chosen that race for her, she won nevertheless, however the only way someone would have taken a stand with her that day is if they knew how she worked on grass prior to that race.
