Outside of BEYERVILLE, there's the 'wipeout'. 2 of MTB's 4 wins at WO were 'wipe-outs'. Not an easy thing to do -- especially up there. He handled the poly there, for sure. Of course, handling the poly up there is no guarantee that he'll handle the turf, as, of all the tracks, this is the one where horses that handle one surface don't necessarily handle the other.
