If he wins the Withers, depending on what happens in the Derby, the Preakness might be a good spot. Remember, alot of the "better" Derby colt that didn't win the Derby don't come back for the Preakness.

It's a smart move. I'm not sure this colt want's 9f, much less 10f in G1 company. I give them credit for not pressing to get to the Derby. If I had a colt like this I'd be looking at races like the $800k ungraded race at Sunland this weekend and others like it. While people are beating their horses up in a futile attempt at making graded earnings, I'd ship all over the place and run for huge purses while avaiding the "best" of the crop.
