If he's ready to go I'd say take him to the Lecomte at Fair Grounds. I know Zito's a Florida guy, but at least the Lecomte is a graded race at a mile around two turns.

It was certainly a baffling decision, to have the Holy Bull after the Florida Derby is pretty strange. I actually like the idea of bringing this horse back at 6.5 furlongs. He is probably fast enough to win that in a paid work and set himself up for the FOY three weeks later. Then they have the option to go anywhere from there for a final prep.
