On Turf:

The best are in Europe.

Harbinger's last two races - and especially his most recent one - were out of this world. He bounced in his next workout though and his career is over.

The most impressive turf performance in America this year was Chinchon in the United Nations - and he came into the race off of a 4th place finish in a 5 horse field - and a 6th place finish the race prior - those two starts both in France.

On Synthetic:

Zenyatta and Informed Decision may both have lost a step - but they're still a combined 26-25-0-1 lifetime on synthetic tracks... the lone loss coming by ID when making her first start off of the long layoff, in a Grade 1, without a single published workout on her form.

On Dirt:

Everything is up for grabs. Quality Road has two very good races (Donn and Met) and two very poor races (Hal's Hope and Whitney) - Blame has improved a little bit in each of his 3 solid stakes wins. Not sure where Musket Man's good race came from - but he was best in the Whitney.

Rail Trip can take over the division if he improves on dirt as much as he figures to and if the Dutrow meds take hold. I Want Revenge had no right to run well and didn't in his return - but why isn't he eligible to move forward now? Lookin At Sucky and Concord Point are both off of two pretty nice races and 3yo's this time of year sometimes explode. Omniscent ran as fast as LAL did in his Haskell romp - he could be one of these Asmussen's that start finally getting good 5th, 6th, and 7th off the layoff and just keep marching.

Redding Colliery absolutely destroyed Awesome Gem on dirt last time out - running a 111 Beyer - Kiarian freshened him and he's just worked his 3rd straight bullet.


Devil May Care and Blind Luck are very good 3yo fillies. Majestic Perfection is slightly the best of a few pretty solid sprinters in America - and there's a real good one in Canada in Hollywood Hit.
