2 more races, no real risk to his reputation even if he loses both. Talk about the path of least resistance.
Gotta love the state of racing today...

He really dosent have much of a reputation anymore. Even though he won the haskell it was a less than stylistic showing and it did nothing to give anyone the idea that he is anything more than a nice horse. His stud value (fee) only increases if he does something noteworthy like beat Curlin or win the Classic. Winning a grass race is immaterial because US breeders generally wont pay much for a grass sire and the Euros arent going for a BB type. The only way BB salvages his "reputation" is to do something like beat Curlin. He is going to be 3 year old champ not matter what happens but running in some made up turf race wont do anything for him.
