The Turf – Flintshire
2016 Record: (4) 3-1-0
Trainer: Chad Brown
Jockey: Javier Castellano
Analysis: The soft turf at Belmont Park really hurt him in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. I won’t hold that loss against him because the main reason they brought him to the United States was to run him on a firm turf course all year. His competition is going to come from last years winner, Found, who recently won the Arc. That win has me wavering on this pick somewhat, but I’m sticking with Flintshire for now.
