Hes better than 15 horses what will go into the starting gate on Derby day. This horse has more than paid for himself, the goal is to get graded stakes wins, or places. Makes no sense to run him in any race that isnt of that kind, regardless of distance.
Jamie, the fact is he was beat a head running against a bias against the 2yo champion. He waxed Hardspun, he lost a head to Scat Daddy, exactly where does this horse belong? He belongs in any G1 race he can get into, regardless of distance, his class will carry the extra furlong.
If that came off shitty its not supposed to be.

The horse comes out and runs hard every other week. I've got no problem with that, you know I like him. But entering him in a G1 turf race for elders is just silly. He hasn't won a graded stakes yet and if they want to try him on turf the spot is the day before in the Crown Royal, which he would be very competitive in. If that goes well, continue on to the Preakness.
