I read this morning that Jerry Brown convinced the owner that Super Frolic had a better chance in the Mile. I couldn't disagree more.

Seriously they shoulda left him out all together. If they were gonna take a stab, maybe the sprint? In there he could maybe live up to 50-1 odds. In the Mile, Turf or Classic- NO CHANCE! Horrible move to enter him.

Disagree, pmayjr. He missed winning last year by less than 3 lengths, after stumbling badly at the start. I don't think he was coming into this year's Classic any worse than last year's. He was not a likely winner, but he may have had as good a shot as anyone behind the Big 3, with the exception of the Europeans.
