don't misunderstand me...I think that there should be graded opportunities for 2YO on turf...but I also think that one should lay a foundation before building a house...it should be a progression, not just bang here's your BC 2YO turf...
but we get our butts kicked because we don't really breed for, or train for turf...dirt is king in the US and probably will be for a long time
