They are using the Tiznow as a prep for the Met Mile instead. Makes a lot more sense to only ship once.

With the sprint division as bad as it is out West...and the BC being there again this year...

Does it really make sense to ship at all?

Probably not, but I think they don't want the horse to be thought of as a synthetic specialist and are still convinced the horse can stretch out. Either way it makes sense to try now when you still have time to regroup for the BC Sprint.

True enough I guess. He makes the Met a more interesting race for sure .. even though it's pretty interesting as it is.

He's a gelding so it's about money. The SoCal races are one berry patch after another but the purses are horrendous.

Kathy Walsh looks like she'd fit in at Belmont without a problem.

If it was just about shipping for money .. they'd hit the 300K Lone Star Mile and the 400K Lone Star Cap at 8.5f's the same day as the Met Mile and five weeks after the LS Mile.

I think those two races will probably look like the Oaklawn Park Handicap looked .. and perhaps both minus Itsabird

The monster Smooth Air is pointing to the LS Mile. (as is Finallymadeit)
