Ran on turf and poly, ran reasonably well on both, so maybe he's versatile enough to handle it.

Teufleberg:
This one pains me more than anything, because I hate breeding cappers, they are morons in my book. He's by Johannesburg, he could handle turf and dirt, maybe this one does, maybe not. He's run okay, so it wouldn't surprise me to see him win

Birdbirdistheword:
Bled in the nice maiden race, so we can forgive that effort, it was a key race and he's run well since. Maybe he'll handle the poly.

Passport:
Run on Turf and dirt and never lost, looks versatile, so maybe he'll run well. He's never lost and I will never hold that against a horse, regardless of competition.

This is pathetic, CQ is the man and I have to go with a bunch of maybe's, because of the Poly...

Why are they morons Mwind?

I hate it, because it's rediculous to me, to look at a horse on paper and based on breeding he will do this or do that. There's no telling what he'll do and don't tell me that he will do such and such, because of who he's bred out of. I don't care if a horse is by Car Dealer or Froggywentacourt'n(2 Ohio Breds) if they are a good horse, they are good horse. When we get these posts of check out this hip or that hip in a sale, I want to vomit. Granted, not everyone wants to read what I have to say, I know that, but these people really no nothing other than some boring inbreeding or something like that. I got news for them, every AP Indy is not Bernardini...Give me a hard trying, fast, poorly bred horse any day of the week...

I respect your opinion, but my feeling and actual experience is that I have won more than my share of maiden races on the turf because others are too lazy to do the work that is required to learn more about turf sires. All the better for me that people continue that trend, as it will continue to insure better prices for me in the end.
