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).
