Well if he were owned by non billionaires, it might be different. But the chance at the purse money in the Mile to them is really worth gambling on the chance he hits the board in the Classic. I mean even if hes say third to Bernadini, just think about how much his stud value soars. He would then be placed in the most lucrative event on dirt in the US.
I don't really care either way to be honest with you. I have a tough time feeling concerned for billionaires and their "plights" with their horses.
