I really wish they'd run Ben's Cat down-the-hill at SA. He might be a cut under true G1 turf sprinters, but I think he'd hold his own if given the chance.

If you are talking about the BC, I'm pretty sure they would have to supplement him. That's the hold-up. They have tried in the past to raise money to no avail.

... but they really haven't tried now have they? (Sorry. I'm sure no one wants to get me started...).

Shame. I think he'd do really well there too.

Interesting I never thought of it like that. I always assumed they just liked getting all that restricted state-bred money vs softer competition as the reason they haven't been more ambitious with him

Why would connections of a horse who has earned them over 2 million on the track have to raise anything? Hasn't he paid (and earned) his way in by now?
