Looks like we'll see him in the 'Clark' then..................

Could be. It sounds like they now want only one more race before the BC. If that is the case, the Goodwood is as good as any, and better than many (the layoff from the Super Derby into the BC is 7 weeks, for example--probably a little more than they'd like.)

If he craps the bed at SA again, they can comfortably go to the Clark and maybe plan on reappearing at the Donn after a break.

You can only do what the horse allows.
