Not the easiest of turf debuts for him. That's a good bunch of horses.

I like Reload to win this.

Wicked Strong finds a tough race to make his turf debut, but we have a hot pace and Vyjack closed well first time over the turf for Mott and I think Wicked Strong is a better horse then he is? TJ

King Kressa does it again! The time was 1:32.34 seconds, what a NY bred.
Wicked Strong a decent 2nd
Vyjack 3rd

Nice race!
Do you think they will keep Wicked Strong on the grass?

Hi Cree,
I think he will run on the dirt in the Whitney at Saratoga in his next start. TJ
