Another hidden turf sire angle

Is one person walking with a curious sway really considered a parade?

So you and GPK thought you came up with some handicapping angle by saying the LDK's were running great on turf? I guess I wouldn't really be surprised that a horse sired by Kingmambo would sire horses that ran well on grass. Even someone like me who cares almost nothing about pedigree could have told you that, it's not that surprising...

And I have told Balleto, GPK and others that 100 times. I understand that was an easy one, what is your point?

And he's still trying to "inform" us all... Give us a few more... enlighten us! Just ribbing Tom. I have a few more if you want me to share.

Here are 10 Kentucky stallions that are considered by most, predominantly dirt stallions. But when their offspring are let loose on the turf for the first time, there's often good money to be had. You should also pay special attention to any Storm Cat or Gone West line first timer.

I'm still surprised that Smart Strike horses continue to go off at pretty fat odds in turf races. I like them. lots.

Yeah... its amazing. Belong to Me, More Than Ready, and Forest Wildcat are the three you'll see go off at ridiculous odds. More Than Ready is as solid as they come on the turf.

My two cents on my favorite "hidden" turf sire....

Unreal Zeal. Perhaps it's because he's not overly successful -- but my goodness, when his horses go first time on turf they are almost always wildly overlooked. And one more than one occasion I've cashed BIG win tickets on his horses. Some of them have the most dramatic turnaround on the turf. I've seen them go from three MSW races finishing up the track by more than a dozen lengths on the dirt, then pop first time on the turf at HUGE prices.

And other times, they are still terrible. It's a crapshoot, but one that's been good to me -- I'm always on the lookout for Unreal Zeal's trying turf first time.
