Quote:
He already won the race that is the most coveted stallion maker by winning the Met. The thing is, he has a chance to definitively win the eclipse with a win in the sprint. But, winning the Mile doesn’t necessarily mean the sprinter eclipse if Imperial Hint wins. And if he loses the Mile and Imperial Hint wins, he’s definitely not winning. I suppose a win in the Mile could make him the favorite for the older male eclipse, assuming a longshot or 3 year old wins then Classic. He just doesn’t strike me as a two turn horse and while I’m not paying the bills, this does seem like a Spendthrift decision because you’d think Asmussen would’ve tried to get a two turn race into him. Just seems strange to me and more evidence of how terrible the Mile has been for various BC races. |

Pulling a Liam's Map with Mitole would be unfortunate.

Sprint as likely as Mile for Mitole.. Was just providing a rationale for Mile consideration.

@HR_Nation 🆕 "I’m almost positive he’s going with the Sprint," owner Rick Porter says of Omaha Beach's @BreedersCup destination. And more major races are on the colt's agenda after that: http://bit.ly/35yIhqB

I can't see OB as a factor in the Sprint.
His BEST figs are inferior to more than one other in there. I would put him in the Dirt Mile. |
