SU has to win on the turf before we make him a super turf horse. KD has won on the turf and was stylish doing so. Doesn't mean he is better than SU but to say that SU is a better turf horse right now is incorrect.

I've seen Kip Deville run, and despite the fast that he'll improve for Dutrow like every other horse does (for whatever reason), Showing Up is a FAR better colt than Kip Deville and will crush him if he gets over the turf okay and I believe the turf won't be a huge obstacle for this son of Strategic Mission..
