agree with Harry, cant really see him being in the Classic.. He has the Mile at his mercy, Dylan showed what most Danehills do on dirt. Coolmore would have seen this weekend two very tough horses on dirt and Im sure will swerve them. Aussie Rules winning at Keenland showed them how good they are for the BC Mile.. I doubt 10f would suit and George is very very inclined to dwindle out of the gate, more so than other Euros which would be a huge disadvantage.. Id be shocked if they ran in the Classic..

It is 51-49 they are going to the classic. This has everything to do with increasing his stud fee. A BCM win would do nothing for him.

If you asked me, they think George Washington is the best horse in the world, some say the best they have ever had, and they want a shot at Bernardini. They don't like the Bernardini connections. No secret there.

The BCC has a built in excuse if he loses. It is a win-win. Everyone already knows he is a great miler. I think he has a great shot to run second.
