It seems more trainers would work them on the track and give them time on the track so the horse can adjust. Larry Jones was smart enough to do that. Tagg wasn't.
Neither was Todd Pletcher. So much for his call that poly is great to work over but he'd rather race on dirt. If he's going to race on dirt he better give his horses some time on the dirt to adjust. I bet he will next year.

The best horses won. What other horses in the race figured to be close to a 110 BSF? NONE. No Biz, Pletchers horses, O'Neils horses, none of them figured to jump up and run that type of race. Its lame to imply that the only missing ingredient was a final workout at Churchill. Exactly how much does that move up a horse anyway?
