There are a lot of true sprinters - you know, horses who are actually better sprinting than routing .... and they are sacrficed into route races because you simply have a lot more money to be made.
Making a horse who is better off routing - try to be a sprinter - is foolish.

You think this horse really wants to route? In looking at the race again, he ran fine.....he did spurt away from his rivals when he needed to. However, I didn't think he ran like he definitely wanted more ground. I will admit that the FG stretch is not conducive to front runners, though from what I've read, the track was speed favoring today. In any case, with his running style, DM will get fried in the Derby.
