It actually makes sense in my opinion. How many restricted 3 yo sprints are there especially one with a 250k purse?

7f around two turns with no stretch should be a walk in the park for this horse especially against that field. 1/5?

This only makes sense if they're using it as a prep for the King's Bishop. . . but he'll probably need another race in between.

Fawkes said right after the Preakness that the Haskell was his ultimate summer goal. I don't know if maybe this is his initial two-turn prep?

I thought he was a lock to try the Carry Back over a track that he obviously likes a bit.
