Default Hard Spun to the King's Bishop

I Love It! Hopefully they get that G1 Steve was talking about on his show yesterday and can then try him on the grass. If here romps here there is no way they should put him back in the Classic. I would love to see him run in the Kelso on the turf at BEL, and if he takes to it (and why shouldn't he?) run him in the BC Mile. There have to be so many different people pulling the strings here. Between Jones himself, Porter, the Darley guys trying to get the most out of him for stud duties and all of the "fans" (like us) advising him on what he should do with his horse, it has to be a madhouse over at Jones' barn. I know Larry, from what I've read, just LOVES being told how to handle his horse. I feel for him, but I feel for the horse as well. He's a very nice horse who has not been handled real well and now because he will only run until the end of the year will be hard pressed to go out and find that race that will make him the most valuable as a stallion prospect, instead of just letting him mature and become the best he can as a racehorse. I'm kind of wishing he didn't run so well in the Derby and then maybe breeders wouldn't have taken such a liking to him.
