What exactly is the big hurry? He's a turf horse.....no reason to ruin him in pursuit of a non-existant holy grail.

I just thought after his maiden win that it was a no-brainer to try him in one of the rich Poly Stakes for 3yo's. I thought Todd would look to the Lanes End (G2), Bluegrass (G1), or the Lexington (G3?, G2?). With the suspect field that is slated for the Bluegrass, I think he would be very tough. Which would increase his value somewhat.

I think Todd may go the English Channel route with him. There is alot of to be won at Colonial Downs this summer.
