Winning a grass race is immaterial because US breeders generally wont pay much for a grass sire and the Euros arent going for a BB type. The only way BB salvages his "reputation" is to do something like beat Curlin. He is going to be 3 year old champ not matter what happens but running in some made up turf race wont do anything for him.
Big Brown could be a better grass horse then dirt horse. Unfortunately will never know .

Just like Curlin was going to be.

The fact is IEAH is pretty pathetic only taking on older horses 1x in his entire career and that is on a synthetic. Weak.
