TDN: Team Valor buys Summer Soiree with Oaks in mind

Summer Soiree seems to have found a home on the grass. The field for the Boiling Springs wasn't exactly stellar but she crushed them.

That was definitely some performance.

All the other races carded for the turf were rained off that day. You can see some super exaggerated margins of victory on wet turf courses sometimes.

Will be interesting to see how she performs on a firm turf. She did win that stake at Turfway by a million lengths in her only synthetic race though -so who knows.

Cool breeding: War Front to a Mazel Trick mare. Mazel Trick ran like friggen Swaps for Frankel once he took him off the turf and ran him on dirt. That horse never lost on dirt - and looked like the best in the country at any distance in '99.

Did that horse ever run further than 8.5f?

How far was the San Diego? 8.5f or 9f?
