Thanks for the news Steve, but Shoot! He was going to be a big part of my exactas and tris and I think overlooked.

That leaves Promises Fulfilled a chance to control the pace, no?

Steve did the Breeders Cup give any reasons for moving Turf Sprints to 5.5 fr from the 5 that they usually run at Churchill?

Didn't hear one other than the logical assumption that the extra 110 yards gives the outer posts a better (fairer) chance. Plus, with the variety of Turf Sprint distances run around the world (5f, 5.5f, 6f to 6.5 downhill at SA to 7f straights here (BEL) and abroad, etc., it feels like a happy median.
