Default CD Turf races

Anyone know how the turf really is at Churchill? Firm? Yielding?

Does Pletcher get a win with Wait a While or Honey Rider in this next race?

They're saying firm but my dad said there was some cut. I like Wait a While buit not when there's a cut in the turf.

Im going for another bomb in this race with Quiet Royal over Ouija Board and Film Maker... although I have a feeling that My Typhoon might get a piece.

You have to always respect Ouija Board but I think she's lost a step with age. And Film Maker is as consistent as they come and she's always been able to run with Ouija Board in the past... lets keep it consistent girls!!!

It rained gobs on Wednesday. The turf is in a sand base so it drains well, but after so much water, it was a bit waterlogged. We have had sunny weather since Thursday so it has had a chance to dry out.

I thought it would be firm and dry but my dad is there and said he sees a little cut. Ann, who do you think some cut favors? Obviously, the Euros... but Wait a While needs it firm, right?

Wow, they're showing the Ruffian movie promo... looks good.

She broke her maiden on a good turf course last fall in New York. Came from mid-pack and drew away as she pleased.
