Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me if they attempted this.
I have absolutely no knowledge on what they will do, I just see the sense in the Classic attempt.

You are right. They dont have anything to lose and they have everything to gain. Big deal if he gets beat or even crushed in the Classic. His value as a turf sire is there and nothing is going to change that. With a victory in the classic and a couple of good crop years he could be considered a sire of sires.
