What’s the knock on Good Samaritan? And, how does one read Oscar Performance? Track record going a mile two back in June followed by a DNF in his last. Ruined for life?

Mike C: My question about Good Samaritan is: Was that big jump up because he switched to dirt, or was he about to jump up to the next level anyway. He had just paired up his top the race before the first dirt, and a new top would not have been a surprise. If he can run as fast on this turf course, he is the fastest.

jbelfior: Perhaps Mott hoping for a big jump on dirt after this. Horse has been flat.

Good Luck,
Joe B.
