I liked Class, but let me add another little CH anecdote that always made me chuckle:
"Pletcher just has excellent stock and a very good training routine."
p.s. Absolutely agree with you on the grass variables Richie. Additionally on most cards there are fewer turf races run and pace variables can make the final figure unreliable as far as indicating how fast the horses were capable of.
That pace comment was anathema I know.
