Even though he hasn't been on the worktab in a while - I can't believe no odds are offered on Mission Impazible for the dirt mile.
I HATED him going into the Derby - and not a lot was talked about his race - but, I think he and Conveyance were obviously the two horses you'd want out of the Derby. One set a murderous pace for 7 furlongs and only got a VERY ugly running line to show for his brilliant display of speed .. the other had a little trip trouble while up near the heat and ran sneaky well. That pace was insane considering how dull and tiring the track was.
Noble's Promise would seem like the logical future book play for a Dirt Mile if you're talking about finding something that exited the Derby .. but his sires stats are utterly Ruthian on wet racetracks and he's being shipped to Europe and all this other nonsense.
