He won the Spriral last out on Polytrack at Turfway, but has not run on dirt. All prior starts on turf as his sire, Kitten\u2019s Joy, is the most prolific U.S. turf sire presently. Turf form translates to Polytrack often as it did for him in the Spiral. Should he win, the winner\u2019s circle presentation with the Ramseys will be classic. A Kentucky family that loves their racing at every level. While Mr. Ramsey\u2019s dream is to win a race at Royal Ascot and collect a trophy from the Queen, we here in Kentucky love it win he wins a race on a muddy track and then leads his horse into the winner\u2019s circle barefooted. The Ramseys LOVE the game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vestpocket\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblackstallion.com\/shop\/\">That&#8217;s Ramsey, not Alec Ramsay (who also LOVES the game).
