I totally disagree. He seems to be much the best as far as the 3 year olds go. So why not run in and dominate races like the Haskell and Travers? I don't think people are benching horses because they might already have Eclipse Awards locked up. Some owners actually like running their horses in different races/spots (especially if they are much the best) as opposed to trying to run out the clock for the end of the year awards.
