Now, I don't like the layoff. We will see.

classic mistake regarding turfers.
NEVER discount the ground, it is so important to the turf horse. if he likes ground a certain way, you better hope he gets it before you decide to place any money on him! these horses in these top races are there for a reason. many times the only thing that separates them is a little luck--or in a turf horse, the ground.
