(Lure was in the 12 post, a tough chore anywhere.) While he might not have been considered a natural for the turf -- given his ample dirt career before the switch -- he was fantastic for two years plus.

yeah,
you may be right.
Ive seen Lure,
but only on tape(selected races).
KJoy was the best US bred,owned and trained turf horse I have seen every race for.
hes the best one I have cashed a ticket on.
hes the best one that I have capped a race for.......................etc
thats what I meant.
Im not saying he was better than JHenry(who I have obviously seen tape of) or any of the other greats.
I do think he deserves to be mentioned with them though.
Repent
