The Lexington's purse was reduced from $300,000 to $200,000 after they got dropped from G2 to G3 so isn't Jaycito the only horse that would have enough graded earnings whether he hits the board or not? I can't remember more than a couple other probables. Unless there's a bubble horse going, the winner's share wouldn't be enough for anybody else. Obviously they want a good race from him. I just know that on the last list, he's 20th.

Headed to the Jerome instead.
