Another hidden turf sire angle

[brianwspencer]

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.
