I wonder how all the horses that should've pointed for the sprint (including 2 horses that actually won the mile) would have been any better off being an also ran in a different race. After all they all couldn't have won it.

As for Liam's Map I would want him in the Classic but if the connections decide a daughter of Trippi wouldn't be able to produce a 1 1/4 racehorse (or whatever their reasoning) I just accept it and move on. Eliminating the Mile won't force the hand of any connections to run in the Classic. They'll simply find another place and time to run.

Yeah, not that I pay any attention to that. I read somewhere that he had the worst breeding of any of the last 50 belmont winners. Goes to show ya.
