David Junior was my EX partner under Bernardini.....then I saw him train Wed and Thurs on the dirt and that is when I got off of him....he is a neat little, small bodied horse, and while he throws his legs straight out from the shoulder instead of picking his knees up like most turf horses, he was a real flat horse and clearly looked like a turf horse to me.....he obviously was eased because he hated the dirt....I'm sure there was a point in time down the backstretch when Jamie had to pul hard on the right reins to keep him from jumping the rail and running onto the turf course

I thought he was handling the surface pretty well....the fact that he got obliterated by Lawyer Ron in the stretch (chart called it a "bump") was the reason he finished where he did.
