Would you rather win a Kentucky Derby of BC Classic?

The future wave will contain very few milers. It will be all classic distance horses.

Smarty Jones, FuPeg, GZ, Giants Causeway, are the 4 horses that will dominate the next decade.

My sleeper who we invested in heavily this year is Grand Slam, who I believe will become one of the elites in the next few years.

Both Smarty and FuPeg were out of very good milers. Grand Slam wasn't a bad one himself, but didn't win over a mile an a eighth did he?

Smarty and FuPeg are not milers. EQ was actually a sprinter with 6-7F his best distance. I know that you aren't calling Mr. Prospector a miler. He was an incredible sprinter, especially at 6F.

As for Grand Slam, the Peter Pan (9f) was the longest he went and won.

But, will that one win going this distance make him a "classic" distance sire?

He really isn't in that elite category like the Classic Winners. Cafe Olympus and Strong Hope were two big runners though so we think he is a great value.
