3-year-olds with a look in The Met Mile

[Linny]

Any 3yo that is in the top 10-15 in graded earnings right now is pretty much a known commodity. If you have a sharp 3yo with the look of a miler, you're crazy not to try. The whole "go slow and see what we have" thing is crazy after having pressed for graded earnings on the Derby prep trail.
If I had a 3yo that just won an allowance in April do I toss him in the Met? No-though this year might be different. OTOH, if he has some foundation and is tested and wants a mile, why not?
Id rather take a shot than get sucked into races like the Peter Pan, Dwyer, Haskell, Jim Dandy at longer routes for no glory. I go to the Met and can still get back 5 weeks later in the Dwyer if I choose.

Regal Ransom would be a Met type but I'll be betting on him returning i the Discovery instead. The 'Mousse to, had he not gotten hurt.
