They're probably thinking Dirt Mile is the easier race.. The Sprint is primed to be one helluva race.

DRF/Nicole Russo: BC Turf Sprint: Add Celestine to the mix
Add another name to the hat for what is likely to be an overflow group of pre-entries for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint when that deadline comes Monday. Grade 1 winner Celestine is now expected to cut back in distance for that event, her connections told the Keeneland communications staff after she worked this morning (more on that work, and other Kentucky Breeders' Cup contenders, from Marty McGee here). In her two most recent starts, Celestine won the Grade 1 Just a Game Stakes at Belmont, then was third (behind Photo Call and champion Tepin) in the Grade 1 First Lady at Keeneland, both races at a mile. But in three starts at less than a mile on turf last year, she won twice (at seven furlongs and five furlongs) and was second once. The Turf Sprint is contested at 6 1/2 furlongs on Santa Anita's idiosyncratic downhill course. "She won a seven-furlong race at Belmont and she showed a lot of speed at Gulfstream when she broke her maiden and won a little overnight stakes," assistant trainer Rodolphe Brisset said. "We feel pretty comfortable shortening her up. She bounced back really, really good from [the First Lady]."

Dirt Mile
After careful consideration, I was thinking that since Runhappy runs the turns so fast he can barely hold them, having the advantage of 2 of them to run in just a one mile race, should beat this field. Other than Gun Runner, there really isn't anyone who scares me. Dortmund runs well every time and is a big good looking guy, but after having his spirit broken by the big hoss, cant have much left in the tank for this task.
