It is highly unlikely Grand Couturier will come anywhere close to replicating yesterday's performance on the rock hard turf expected on BC Day.

But, it would certainly be great to see Bobby Ribaudo win a BC race.
Bill Mott echoed the above sentiment regarding Dynaforce as well... though he added that he loves the Santa Anita turf as it is..
