Huge mistake by the Brilliant connections. Both this race and the Secretariat are 10F races, but this one has more money and no Showing Up. I am glad he is going to the Secretariat though because Showing Up should handle him pretty easily at that distance. I would love to see KD and Brilliant go at it at 1M, but they likely have zero shot against the europeans in the BC Mile.
