Not an expert, but I was told it will be interesting to see how SU's speed works on the turf where it usually is better to come from off the pace. SU is no Barbaro though but a nice replacement. 3yr olds on the turf this year aren't much, probably why the bought that horse. None of them stand a chance of winning that bonus because they would have to beat older horses in the BC. Still $1M races are tough to come by. Wonder where all the Europeans are.

Ruler please get a clue. EC would mop teh floor with any 3YO in teh country on grass. My clocker said his work was great. Todd (Unlike ceratin trainers who take older horses off form with scorching works once a week, cough cough ahem) works his horses in a controlled manner only looking for them to finish well and travel well. Horse is racing this week, what should he have done, work him in 58 flat? You are talking about the greatest trainer in teh world, noone else is close, I think he knows what hes doing.
