I have 19yr olds e-mailing me that you idiots can't stop posting nonsense.

Provide links about things or shut up. This site won't last very long if it keeps up. I personally know the situation, but I can provide links and facts.

Do you guys know how stupid you look posting nonsense over and over?

Enough!

Eric Wing: Barclay, there was nothing wrong whatsoever with Showing Up dirt form, but he sure took to the grass in a big way in the million dollar Colonial Turf Cup. Do you think he prefers one surface to the other? Or is one of those rare animals that's equally adept on both surfaces?

Barclay Tagg: I think he's very adept on both surfaces, but I think he's a little more comfortable on grass. That's just my guess watching him on both surfaces. I think he's a little more comfortable on the grass. And I really made the switch because I thought Barbaro would go ahead and be able to do the Triple Crown, and I didn't need to have him chasing Barbaro around. So I thought I'd try another venue with him and see what he could do on the turf. He was bred for turf. And he looked like he had the kind of action you'd like to see on the turf. And when I tried him in a couple of work outs on it, he seemed to be superb on it, so that's what we did.
Tagg may have worked the horse on the grass to see if he would like it while Barbaro was still around. But the horse did not run on the grass until a month after Barbaro broke down. That is fact. Go check Showing Up's past performances. His first grass race was at Colonial Downs on June 24th.
