Turf is a possibility, but personally, I don't see why he doesn't cut back in distance. His best race is still the Futurity, Tale Of The Cat's--like Grand Slam's--usually bottom out at a mile, and he's made sharp middle moves in at least his last 2 route races only to hang/tire through the lane--typical of a late running sprinter.
He was nominated to the King's Bishop. Maybe he'll show up for the Jerome.
