To believe that he moved up on a different surface (his dam was a turfer and her two sibs who made it to the races were turfers as well) - the proper surface - by what? an average of 12 Beyer points? isn't really anything to be amazed by. I'm not a Baffert fan, but I don't really see this as a blatant case of juicing by any stretch.

I agree.
I remember we looked at him in that turf race first start for Baffert, after that he got really good, perfect prep.
