The Ireland bred Dark Islander is my choice here. I am a huge fan of his sire Singspiel. He should get a nice pace to run at. A hard california turf might just be too tough to close into though.
Dark Islander is the horse I was talking about that won the Oak Tree Derby. I couldn't think of his name.
