I doubt any perceived route ability is a factor in deciding not to sell. I think the raw talent displayed is enough to keep from letting him go. There's some money and glory in sprinting. Hopefully they don't allow their Derby Fever to thwart a one-turn career as someone else suggested.

That said, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the horse will be lucky to emulate even horses like Corazondelcampeon or Sea Of Pleasure (who's connections also turned down big dough to roll the dice).

I'm not sure my mom will let me borrow that much. Let me ask my parole officer.
