Kind of surprised Mott didn't bite with Olympiad for that $1 million at Oaklawn. But he was quoted as saying he's looking to win a Grade 1 with the colt so he might not show up for the Alysheba, either. The Churchill Downs Handicap a day later offers a Grade 1 ranking and a $750K purse. And could set the horse up nicely for the Met Mile to boot.

Mott would run him against Speaker's Corner in the Met....but he should. We'll see. Olympiad is not nominated to the Churchill Downs. He is nominated to the Alysheba.
