Nordic Truce.

Certainly one of the more intriguing colts in this crop.

There's an interesting 4yo and up msw on this card with a bunch of well bred nothings.

The horse that is interesting to me is the Perfect Soul colt out of a Sunday Silence mare that cost 775k as a yearling, about 2.5 years ago, give or take a bit.

Decent looking win by Nordic Truce.

I haven't watched any GP turf races thus far this meet, but man, that track seems insanely fast.

Have other days been as quick on turf?

Was insanely fast last year. One had to allow for that when 'capping for Kee.

Rock hard there. Very fast times lately.

Not as fast as Mr. Light in the 1st year (2005) with the new turf course.

A couple of the best known rabbits of recent memory were not even on the lead.
Shake the Bank ( Better Talk Now )
Icy Atlantic ( English Channel )

Da Tara couldnt even make the lead.. He won the fn Belmont Stakes GO Zito
