The ideal would have been for him to have skipped either the Whitney or the Wooward, and put SK in the JCGC or similar prep, and the BCC.

He was favored, or co-favorite, in the $500K Grade 1 Woodward whereas he will be no less than 6-1, and probably closer to 10-1, should he run in the JCGC. I would say, even in retrospect, the Woodward was the right spot.
