thats cool Sheba.

its just that if you are going to play the classy Euro first time on dirt angle,
there is so muh more to like in David Junior.
tested at the distance.
more of a dirt pedigree.
and although both are 10-1 ml, I think you get a better price on DJ at post time.
and maybe Im stupid,
but I like the fact that he is the only horse in the race running w/out lasix.
never needed it in the past, so why now?
I like that.

i agree with repent, if you want a euro, go with david junior. george is a top turf miler, not sure that will translate into dirt mile and a quarter form. he's a classy animal, but overcoming a top field AND a dirt track AND the distance, all at one time?? ehhh, i don't think so. and as for pedigree, david junior is bred more for dirt than turf--pleasant tap is a half to go for gin btw. also note that dj's broodmare sire, irish river, is the broodmare sire of arcangues.

George Washington's half sister Grandera was excellent on turf and dirt. I doubt the dirt will be a problem. Distance maybe, but not the surface.
