Sean Avery sucked anyway, and was aided by that crazy bias at Saratoga

You are 10000x more annoying than PG1985 was at his absolute worst.

According to Von Hemel, Caleb's Posse to Indiana Derby then Possible Dirt Mile

No Sprint for him

Would think he figured out that 6/7F is a good distance for the horse,guess 500k makes u rethink that?

It's a complete joke. . . I don't know if Von Hemel's just trying to get cute or what. He sort of did the same thing with Alternation who, admittedly, hasn't panned out. The Belmont was a no-brainer spot for him after his Peter Pan win and I still have no clue why they skipped it. Caleb's Posse's not an overly attractive stallion prospect, obviously, but a GI over older or champion sprinter honors would change that to some degree. . . the $300K he might win at a distance he's vulnerable at doesn't come close.

I don't understand why anyone would take issue with him pointing to a 1 turn mile race with a horse seemingly ideally suited to one? He isn't exactly a 6 furlong wizard.

It's not really the BC race I have the issue with--I could see the argument for the sprint or mile--he's sort of in between. It's the race before that that I have an issue with.

Since we have both the Sprint and Dirt Mile, it would be nice to return the Vosburgh to its historic distance of 7F, where it could serve as a prep for both races.
