Negative Drops - Pace and Cap

Hi Ryan

Again we are looking at a 3 year old. Look at its only win. Its a 7.5 Turf maiden claimer with a $75000 purse, but its restricted to 3 year olds only
I do not know much about GP. But I suspect that maiden turf win was a very
artificial high purse and claiming level. These young horses could be very valuable turf horses.
Turf purses are generally much higher than dirt and turf races for 3 year olds only are even higher , This is to protect the owners from losing there horses
before they find there value.

I see this as not a negative but a horse who was not what they once thought t was - a turf router. It may just be what it is from its MC win about a 16000 claimer ?
