He's a much better dirt horse. The opportunity to win the g1 on turf had to be taken. The horse he beat promptly came back won frst leg of crown by 9 there. LAL better show up it'll take his Haskell

Based on his workouts - or his 10 length drubbing on dirt on debut?

I don't doubt he will be a fine horse for Maker in due time.

But, South American 2yo racing - as it is technically referred to - doesn't do much for me. In the win last out, he did run 0.31 seconds faster than...

Debut winner Pura Classe displayed plenty of promise in winning the Grande Premio Margarida Polak Lara—Taca de Prata (Brz-G1) by 4 3/4 lengths.

The two-year-old Grand Slam filly covered 1,600 meters (7.95 furlongs) in 1:33.56 to improve to two victories from as many start for owner Stud Farda Amiga. Bred by Haras Old Friends, she is out of Argentine-bred Secret World, by Careafolie (Ire).
