It's a smart move. I'm not sure this colt want's 9f, much less 10f in G1 company. I give them credit for not pressing to get to the Derby. If I had a colt like this I'd be looking at races like the $800k ungraded race at Sunland this weekend and others like it. While people are beating their horses up in a futile attempt at making graded earnings, I'd ship all over the place and run for huge purses while avaiding the "best" of the crop.

The Kentucky Derby is THE race.
You would do the right thing and not
get noticed. Which is sad. You refuse
to wear the giant silly hat and show
your cleavage. Shame, shame.

Maybe Steve should rename this site
the Preakness Trail. I would still visit.
