I wouldn't like Brother Derek on the turn-back to 7 panels from a hard race in the 1 1/4-mile Classic....he'd be a bet-against for me...
I'd breifly freshen him for a start in the $1 million Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream Parl in January...I mean, it is freakin' Cal-bred and Fla-breds for $1 MILLION!!!....can't pass that up. Plus, Lava Man is reportedly running in the turf race on Sunshine Millions day against Miesque's Approval - which means that the ONLY horse Bro Derek may have to beat is Sweetnorthernsaint...but at least it is at his best distance of 1 1/8 miles - and did I mention that it is for $1 MILLION!!!....can't pass that for the Malibu if you're Bro Derek's connections....
