A.) There's very little money to be made sprinting him.

B.) There's A LOT of money to be made routing him.

C.) He is a better horse routing than sprinting because he has proven repeatedly he can rate and paces are slower in routes.

D.) You are make believing that he has distance limitations because of how he ran one race when he battled Super Saver into defeat and came up empty late in a sneaky good effort.

E.) The best shot he has to win a Triple Crown race is probably the Belmont Stakes. If he gets a free ride on the lead like Da Tara got - he will run like a horse who has been begging to run 12 furlongs his whole life. Also, a lot of the true speed to pressure him will be off the triple crown trial by that time.
