Unfortunately for the state of the older male division, anything over 105 this year is going to be a major threat to win a G1. Curlin, Spring at Last, and Daaher are off to Dubai. Gotta figure at least one and likely two don't make it through the rest of the year. Not many others out there capable of going 105+.
You, BTW, and Travis are saying sort of what I was saying about the division this year and why I felt that there might be worse decisions than putting a horse like Nobiz back on the dirt. He's already won a grade one on it and he's come close to the 105 mark which, if he repeated that, would make him competitive in quite a few races and with the number of big money and grade one options out there, I'd feel very confident in his chances of winning one or two.
