It's also the same as going against Bernardini, Invasor, Lava Man and Sun King at ten furlongs off five weeks! Thanks for pointing that out!

First, I've never said he should run in the Sprint. I've said that I DO NOT THINK he is fast enough to win the Sprint. So that shouldn't even be a part of this conversation.
Second, look at the four horses u mentioned for the Classic. Sun King has never won a grade one race either and never won at 10f so he's in the same boat at Discreet Cat. Lava Man is still completely unproven outside of California. Even his trainer has voiced some concern over how we'll he'll do. He's already BEATEN Invasor and that horse will be coming in off of a 13-week layoff. The only one that should be a real concern is Bernardini.
I said the Mile or the Classic, preferrably the Mile. I didn't say the Sprint.
