The synthetic-to-dirt move worked last fall for Hansen, so I don't blame them for recreating that setup. Just like Street Sense. But is this particular decision being made with those types of considerations in mind?

I think they were pretty clear why they were doing it in the TDN.

I think the decision is being made so Dr. Hansen can bring over his party bus full of Russian mail order brides to Keeneland.

Plus I think he is hoping Keeneland will let him color the horses mane and tail...

I'm glad he is running there.
My price on Dullahan just doubled.

That's pretty much exactly what I thought.
