Only difference between that turf race and his poly track win was that one is NW1 ALW and the other is a G II.

Me either. He could be a legit grass/poly horse but he'll be ruined if he runs in the derby.

i don't think it'll ruin him, but i think it's a mistake to run him in the derby.
like they say, you need the right tools for the job-i don't think he's suited to the dirt surface.

The comparisons in this thread make me laugh.. Barbaro, Point Given. Wouldn't Sedgefield be the relevant and accurate comparison?

He's probably better than Sedgefield but I agree - the comparisons are pretty absurd.

I don't know. I think running second to Hard Spun is more impressive than beating a wide Halo Najib.

He's working Sunday at CD.

I'll be there watching and hopefully get a video up.

Sedgefield is better than that nag of a brother he has too.

Sedgefield is barely a high level claimer.
