What's more attractive? Making him more valuable winning a turf stakes or sending him to slaughter vs Curlin?
Of course they're ducking and talking empty trash. But when did you start believing what trainers and owners say?
From what I remember reading, they sold 20-25% of him to 3 Chimneys for $10 Million. So they've got to enhance or maintain whatever residual value he has. Other than beating or running a tight 2nd to Curlin, it's not going to happen on dirt.

Thank you, Bruce. Sums up the point I was (poorly) trying to make.
