Summer Bird to Japan Cup Dirt

[smuthg]

I kinda like the move... any horses going over for the Japan Cup Turf?

I'm sure Lava Man is available.

Good luck to them, but I'd rather see him given a rest or stay in this country for another start this year.

I agree with Slot's assessment.

I'm not sure about this one, I think a break is well deserved for him. He's taken on the toughest campaign of any horse this year and you want to make sure you have a good, fresh 4 yr old to race next year. Perhaps biting off more than is needed.

Totally agree. Lay off, come back at Gulfstream or FairGrounds. This makes no sense to me at all.

Toughest campaign of the year for Summer Bird?!

You don't agree, look at the races he has raced in this year. The way he is going he will end up in the Hollywood Derby after Japan the way Ice is talking him up on turf.

I don't see the logic in going to Japan other than for the obvious reasons...money, it's a strange move for a horse destined to be at the top of the division next year, not to mention the dreadful record American horses have when they ship over there.
