I would have loved to have seen Skip Away run on the turf.

He was soundly beaten in his debut going 5fs to Cold Snap on the dirt. He made his 2nd start in a stake race going 5fs on the turf - and was running over the top of horses late but finished a good 2nd to Cold Snap.

That was it for his career on turf.

His 5f turf race was much better than his 5f dirt race ... and while a terrible sire ... his offspring do a lot better on turf and synthetic than dirt.

Considering he was a true all-time great on dirt ... I wouldn't be shocked if he would have been an outstanding turf horse as well if given the chance.
