SU has to win on the turf before we make him a super turf horse. KD has won on the turf and was stylish doing so. Doesn't mean he is better than SU but to say that SU is a better turf horse right now is incorrect.

What you said, times two. I wish I had a buck for every trainer and owner who had told me that their horse worked awesome on the grass and then tried it and photoed with the ambulance. Its one thing for a horse to work well, its quite another to compare him to grade one winner.
