I guess so, if you are talking about the likelihood that a $5k CA-bred by Cat Dreams would develop into a Grade 2-calibur horse. However, none of that makes him qualified to tackle Group 1 company at Royal Ascot.

Last I checked, Fluke, the erstwhile allowance horse, won the Kilroe the other day.

What's the rush? He's gelded right? Why don't they build-up a resume with the Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Shoemaker Mile, and Eddie Read (the races he will miss with this silly venture)? If he happens to win a couple of those, then they could shoot for the Queen Elizabeth II or the Champion Stakes and at least bring a record that glistens with more than just a Sunshine Millions Turf victory.

My thoughts exactly. He could make a shitton at home this year.

I agree with both of you completely and can only assume they figure he'll be around for 2012 and can have a domestic campaign. If they have him back for the Woodbine Mile that's a great spot to prep for the BC.
