He's interesting to say the least.The best may yet to be for his sire Maria's Mon.Norm Casse bred his dam and literally all Florida speed on the bottom side of the pedigree.

Tunerup was just kinda one of those horses you keep around because you like him.Nothing to write home to mom about but just one of those horses that never influenced the commercial market but was always there as just a decent sire (It's too bad Concern developed fertility problems - Tunerup may be more noticeable);

Definitely a speed horse on dirt and turf-a bonus there-this horse should go back to Florida - what a cross on Northern Dancer mares;Fappiano grandaughters would be interesting.And talk about a horse with the potential to be a good freshman sire.

IS HE FOR SALE ?????
