She also does a great job at identifying when a Jock is aboard for the work....for mdns imo it is often times a sign that the horse is ready and/or well regarded by the connections...

Default either, or

It IS a pleasure to actually see the workouts.

Curlin didn't strike me as the type of horse who will be hurt by the synthetic. He has just a little 'turf in him, and is a solid son of a gun. However the surface does open the door to one of the other rivals (none of whom could challenge Curlin on dirt), to run a big race as well. Curlin also hasn't shown a sudden explosive move in some time which could indicate that if others are up to the task, he will be right there to be taken on.

The first time I heard her I thought she was just making up names to be interesting. She is unreal.

Any top quality graded stakes horse can do workouts like that. It was good though.
