Yeah don't think he took to it that well. But I don' think he's much of a turfer. European glided over it. Not that that's a shock. Surprised he was 18-1.

MTB had no problem working out over the surface earlier in the week. Wooley had him out early on the track today to work the edge off MTB. Could have taken off to much of the edge. Personally, I am not a fan of exercising the horse the morning of a competitive race.
Does anyone know if Wooley has done this before with MTB?
Also, Borel better learn to ride Santa Anita. Moved too late even if MTB would have fired.

Working over a track and running over a track are two different things. There are turf horses who can blow out over dirt tracks but they don't really run a lick on them race wise. Oh well,we'll see.

When will someone, anyone, stop making excuses for MTB and just admit that he freaked in one race and really isn't anything special?

Amen! So much money made betting against him since! Truly cannot understand someone taking less than 20-1 on him this race considering his only race at SA was a real stinker. America loves Wooley and Borel.....a fool and his $$......

MTB was the Canadian champion juvenile running on Woodbine's synthetic.
Do you dirt-freaks hear yourselves?

Turf horse??
He's a 3rd rate turf horse. So much so he's connections were training him for the Belmont Stakes until he was sidelined by injury. He has since shown great form on synthetics.

Yeah NEARCO it's called reading. I said he's a turf horse. Look at this PP's. Uhhh he's a turf horse. Not a great one,but who here said he was??
When horses run on turf. I call them turf horses. I don't know what u call them? A turf horse won the race.
