AT THE RACES WITH STEVE BYK (SiriusXM): Redwood not moving on to BC Turf after 3rd in Pattison Saturday according to Garrett O'Rourke of Juddmonte on ATR Monday.. Paddy O'Prado for the Classic termed a 'possibility' by Dale Romans to me Sunday.. Mad Flatter arrived safely back to Keeneland in excellent shape Monday morning (9am) according to Jeff Thornbury on ATR, and appears likely for a try in the Dirt Mile on the track where he broke his maiden..

If there is, at least the turf course will still be firm.

If it was in Europe at least.

(Haskin and Downey Profile)

Thiskyhasnolimit, winner of the 2009 Grade III Iroquois Stakes at Churchill, is a 3-year-old that may go in the Dirt Mile. He worked five furlongs in 1:01.00 (3/44).

Astrology, who's being pointed to the Juvenile, went in 1:01.80 (11/44), breezing.

Im not sure the Classic is a bad idea at all. He cant win the turf, I doubt he can even run 1-2-3. Why not take a shot for more $?

Paddy O Prado couldn't beat Winchester, who needs a big step-up to beat the B horses coming over from Europe. At least in the Classic he'll have pace... I can see them taking a shot.

I hate throwing a blanket over all Euros in any race, but the Turf division here is really, really weak.

When was it Really Really strong? The stock is gone and the industry breeds for speed on dirt. Who breeds a mare to turf stallion? Even Stormy Atlantic a terriffic US based stallion doesnt get the commericial success you would think. All the best grass mares are shipped abroad save a few based with the super elite US based owners. While the advent of the juvy BC grass races has spurred a smattering of interest back in grass stock, most of the decent stock is still gobbled up and shipped and bred to propper stallions in Europe.

SHUBACK (DRF): Workout Saturday (10/23) will determine if Stoute sends Workforce to the Turf. Gosden appears to now want to send 6yo Tazeez to the Turf after solid effort at Newmarket last week..
