Agreed Sniper, I don't think anyone thinks that anything less than a sweep of the Vosburgh and Cigar Mile would get him champ. But the Lava Man argument as far as where he races doesnt quite apply here. Most of the big sprints are in either Cali or NY. Its not like the handicap division where they run big ones one both coasts and in Dubai, and at the Cup(wherever it is), and in Florida(Donn) and in Ky(Foster) and in Maryland(Pim Special). Most of the past sprint champs were based on one Coast and ran there until the BC. Foggy was an exception shipping everywhere possible all year long.
