His breeding is fantastic for 10 panels ... ??? What are you seeing that I'm not? His 'turfy' pedigree?

Barbaro was one of a kind. Once we regularly start seeing turf horses win the Kentucky Derby, then I'll start paying more attention to them. But there's just too many question marks for me.

What about El Prado-Prized doesn't scream turf? In a 20 horse field, you have to take a stand against some, and I'm betting that horses who've clearly done their best running on turf are, well, better on turf.

I normally do that too ... BUT, you have your exception when there isn't anything but a bunch of plugs in the race anyway. Sedgefield was a turf horse as well ... he finished 5th. Didn't win, but was my pick for last place that year and he ran very well.

Anyone see Paddy O's workout on 4/23 in the slop? Time was good so I was wondering what it looked like.
