Another hidden turf sire angle
While GPK and I argue about who 'touted' Lemon Drop Kid as a hidden turf sire, I have two others to throw out that I have scored on recently.
Sweetsouthernsaint - (especially first time routing on turf) Exchange Rate - By Danzig and won most of his races on the dirt These are two that are fairly 'quiet' angles that people haven't caught onto late. Most LDK's present no value on the lawn anymore but these two you will see some value..... |

Do you have any numbers to actually back any of this up?
Sometimes perception does not equate to reality... |

Its really quite easy to pick out hidden turf stallions. Lauren Stich does a series every year on the freshman stallions and lists who she thinks will be hidden values on turf. All it takes is a basic grasp of pedigree knowledge.
The real attention should be given to who's get is doing the best on poly. Would love to see those numbers... |

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...

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. |

It's basic knowledge and a little luck if it's 1st timers, there's really no skill involved in handicapping msw's turf or non-turf, unless you are someone like Rupert or others that we have here and have seen the horses train to see how they are moving. I don't mind admitting that, because I have had some of my biggest hits with msw's, but it's nothing more than looking at the pedigree, the trainer stats, worktabs and a little luck, unless you have seen them train... |

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 think Came Home will be a good sire, never really cared much for him as a race horse, but I think he will be a good sire, not exactly breakthrough stuff, seeing as he is by Gone West...I like Zito's horse in the BCJ...
