Is TGM having a garden party?

Rumor has it The Green Monkey's going in a 6.5 furlong race on the turf on the Travers undercard. Is that complete crap or are we all invited to a party on the lawn for the next turf *ehem* "superstar"?

I'm hoping that stands for British Columbia or something.

Ah someone got it mixed with race 3 (1 1/16 on turf for maiden 3yo and up). His is race 2 I bet. Here's the condition book. http://www.equibase.com/premium/eqbH...0815-20070903D

Seems much more sane then (can't imagine 1 1/16 on turf for his debut). It's only 6 furlongs also, not 6.5. Must be prepping for the BC sprint eh?

more likely race 4 at 6 1/2.. since race 2 is for 2 year olds

Go the Monkey! A true underdog tale.

Yeah I keep forgetting he's no spring chicken. Time flies when you're a monkey with a pulled butt muscle.
