Met Mile (Divine Park 109)

Where did you read that Bustin Stones was out? I agree though, it's a great race and I'm at Belmont for it every year.

I read that Levine wants to point him to the BC and wants to give him a rest. Bustin Stones is a lightly raced horse and while he showed speed, he never ran eye to eye with a legit Grade 1 sprinter. Taking a break at this point sounds a bit fishy.

He spiked a fever which meant missing the Met Mile and they were considering the True North but then realized this was 2008 and no trainer would possibly want to have their horse come into the BC after a grueling year long campaign so they were going to give him a break until Saratoga to have him fresh for the BC.
