Of course winning the Mile would be a big deal but I don't think it would be a bigger deal to them than the possibility of standing a Danehill that was able to have some dirt success and in this case, I don't think that success has to necessarily come in a win. A good showing, possibly beating some of America's best dirt horses, would go a long way.

The fact that they have the other horse in the mile seems to be the only logical reason to run him in the classic.\
I have yet to see a horse who didn't win or finish a close second like G Causeway get any stallion value out of the race. Finishing a distant 4th and beating SS or Curlin will just be considered a fluke anyway. I guess he needs a miracle to revive his stud career anyway.
