Dylan has been entered for the Kentucky Cup Classic at Turfway next weekend as well as the JCGC. Obviously the 9f there would be insufficient and the race would amount to little more than a public experiment (although that would be on polytrack, and my experience of that surface is that almost any horse acts on it). O'Brien was suggesting the BCC straight after the Irish Champion, so they must have some idea of his ability to handle the dirt...although one would imagine that the plan has also been devised so as to keep Hurricane Run and Dylan Thomas apart in the BCT.
