Your foreign turf import got right and you managed to luck into a beautiful surface situation with the synthetic sham. However when you have this years Breeders Cup at Santa Anita(and not even dare looking to NEXT YEARS AS WELL!) you would have to wonder how your stars could have aligned. The rest of this season is a prep for the BC with a few big stops. You may even go turf or lay off to avoid the heavy Del Mar surface.
So what do you do? Ship him to Oaklawn and run him 1st on the dirt? Right...
also worth noting that he is the morning line favorite

and looks to be a nice bet against.
