Loup Breton is the best turf horse in America, hands down IMO. I hope he handles this surface, if so he wins for fun.

Watch the replay.... He ran huge to be that close, the pace was a crawl he made up a ton of groud. I would love to get to bet him over Gio Ponti in the big turf race on Belmont Day.

Who knows how Gio Ponti will fare going to Dubai and back but it's safe to say Loup Breton has a lot more to do on the turf to get into his league.

If Battle of Hastings runs well in the Kilroe on Saturday I think he'll beef up the turf division out west as well. Him finding a nose for the wire a bit will help his chances even more.

He cut the corner and had dead aim on a horse that was in a drive from midturn and couldn't pass him. Pace or otherwise he HUNG like a rat. He hasn't shown the ability to win in anything other than a favorable setup (i.e. a race that falls apart) to this point. Until he does, he's not a quality animal.

Then again: a high % trainer, a nice Beyer figure, and poor trip handicapping skills make for a healthy ROI.
