derby results

[kanekomert]

some derbys are on the dirt track, some derbys are on turf track. who is giving this decision? kentucky derby is 10F D, turkish gazi derby is 12F T.
and all gazi winners havent good stud life and they wouldnt be able good stallion.

I think to follow tradition, a Derby would be a race restricted to three year olds of at least more than a mile. But any track can call a race a derby. It's not copyrighted.

By the way, how is Strike the Gold doing in Turkey?

[kanekomert]

strike the gold is so important for breeding in Turkey. Because sabirli is strike the gold's son. sabirli won 6F-10F D T races. sabirli won three gr-1, three gr-2, eight gr-3 race in turkey and won one gr-2 race in dubai. strike the gold's sons generally good sprinter and some horses are good at long distances at dirt track( it depends on mares). sri pekan, royal abjar, mountain cat and strike the gold most important stallions in turkey.
