He rarely ships so is left to run him on the turf or on the cushion turf. At least one surface will be somewhat comparable to what they run on in the BC.

From what I've heard, they are pointing for the Dirt Mile. Headley likes the turf to dirt angle and frankly, there are no other dirt miles to use to get ready with. I feel that with a horse with the physical problems that Surf Cat has historically had, the mile on turf might be a little easier on him than the Ancient Title. I like the move though. A good performance opens up the Turf Mile door for him.

The other thing is that he must have Arson Squad at his peak for the Goodwood.

That horse worked 7f today at Santa Anita in 1:21 2/5.

No lie. The Santa Anita poly is rock hard right now. Some horse went 5/8s in sub-57 the other day.

Santa Anita is Cushion wth a speed twist and I expect Headley to have a better showing than he had at Hollywood Park.

May have been the brisnet Handicapper's Edge last week that mentioned the Clement L Hirsch on turf for Lava Man. I'm so confused.
