After Flightline loses the Pacific Classic, all 3 should target the Kelso to put on the race we should have seen in the Met Mile. Might even boost the Kelso into Grade 1 status.

But the reality is that Flightline will go to the Awesome Again ahead of retirement or an unplacing in the Classic.

Life is Good will go to the Woodward ahead of an unplacing in the Classic.

Olympiad will go the Lukas Classic ahead of a last ditch effort for a Grade 1 win in the Clark ahead of retirement.

Only a matter of time before trainers in Japan and the Godolphin/Appleby juggernaut set their sights on the perennial easy pickings in the US dirt races. The turf races here are tougher nowadays...
