From what I've heard, they are pointing for the Dirt Mile. Headley likes the turf to dirt angle and frankly, there are no other dirt miles to use to get ready with. I feel that with a horse with the physical problems that Surf Cat has historically had, the mile on turf might be a little easier on him than the Ancient Title. I like the move though. A good performance opens up the Turf Mile door for him.

this is the move that in betweens usually make in this race. remember congarees flop at 3/5 in this one only to rebound in the Cigar a month later.

Isnt the Mile on the turf at SA, the same race as Crossing The Line and Lava Man?

CTL, yes.

i've read conflicting stories about lava man. i've read multiple times that he's running in the goodwood, and the mile!

Have to think that Crossing the Line could handle both Lava Man and Surf Cat right now.
