English Channel ducking the big boys??

He is running from Arlington because there is only room for one star on that day, and unlike EC, Showing Up won't choke in the Secretariat and lose to a nobody like Gun Salute. I would keep EC at Saratoga too because he is going to need to be 100% ready to go in the Turf Classic because the horse the bloodhorse called the "new star of american turf racing" loves the Belmont turf.
