Any US racing experts?

I've got a useful handicapper rated low 90s and was considering moving him Stateside as his best form is on artificial surfaces. I was wondering what opportunities would be available for a horse of his ability who requires 1m 4f+ and which trainers excel with this type of horse.

Thanks

Races of 1m4f are very rare in the US and most of them are on grass anyway. Maybe you should consider Canada (Woodbine) as it has polytrack surface and very nice casino-added purses, but even there you won't find too many 1 1/2 mile races, let alone longer.

they run 12f races about 1x per year....how many races has the horse won? If only 1, good idea, as he has his allowance conditions. what is the name of your beast?
