It is 51-49 they are going to the classic. This has everything to do with increasing his stud fee. A BCM win would do nothing for him.
If you asked me, they think George Washington is the best horse in the world, some say the best they have ever had, and they want a shot at Bernardini. They don't like the Bernardini connections. No secret there.
The BCC has a built in excuse if he loses. It is a win-win. Everyone already knows he is a great miler. I think he has a great shot to run second.
