So what's the goal here? The BC Mile is a big check with a high probability of cashing. Win there and you join a handful of horses who have won different BC races and cementing a legacy of one of the best in that turf mile division.
However, if you take a gamble in the Classic, you really are going for "all time greatness." I don't think he has a good shot, but he has a shot at American racing immortality. I don't think that's an overstatement for a multiple HOY who won BC races on different surfaces, capped by the Classic.
For an old guy with a once in a lifetime horse, I'd take the shot.
