Regarding the turf work - they're saying this horse has a history of bad feet ... I guess if he's able to duplicate that performance in the future - it will be decided by how sound his feet are.

He ran like a horse who just had strong vinegar spit into his nose over and over for the first time ever...after getting his teeth cleaned, his shoes changed, and his legs felt with Juan Carlos's facial cheek.

Went back and checked, it looks like Flat Out had been on the fence for tomorrow's Firecracker on turf at Churchill according to the Blood-Horse.

Going back to the Stephen Foster, he saved ground throughout and then came with a rally along the rail only to get outfinished by a few coming from the center of the track. Was the track playing fair that day?

She did it very easily, but I think that will prove to be a bit of an overrated group. . .
