I wasn't planning on breeding my mare back this year but am having second thoughts after seeing the Fairbanks foals at Timonium. Anyone want to comment on the Fairbanks X Quite An Evening cross? Lots of Roberto there. Something tells me it could end up being a turf horse too which I am not sure I like. What do you think? Thanks!

There's really not an overwhelming mix of turf influences... no more than most pedigree crosses. Roberto is a versatile enough influence and it's far enough back that it probably won't make much impact.
While Giant's Causeway gets his fair share of turf horses, he also gets good dirt horses and if the mare has been throwing predominantly dirt, I don't think Fairbanks will override that since he was primarily a dirt horse himself.
