I feel for the horse, he was the 2nd best horse in America and could have won a ton of races in a row, and they are going the Royal Ascot / Arlington Million route. Its beyond ridiculous.

According to a three part interview with Perry Martin on bloodhorse.com, they wanted to breed for turf when they sent Chrome's dam to Lucky Pulpit.
