What about Stardom Bound in the Met Mile?

When CC did it the Belmont was 5 days after the Met Mile!

I heard fillies get to start from the 7/8ths pole on the turf!

He is a puzzle.

It isn't clear whether he has regressed/is a little cheap, or that he was simply chasing a stupid pace for the last two races. AND whether or not he can ignore fast pace-setters and just cruise somewhat forwardly and finish somewhat decent (which should be enough to win the Arkansas Derby sans Dutrow magic)

Not even sure he could shorten up at a top class. Could be wrong about that too.

If Quality Road misses the Derby with a crack, I think they should go to the Met Mile.

Nuclear Wayne was impressive at Fair Grounds this winter for Asmussen. He will be a good one if the wheels haven't already already fallen off.

With the way everything is going unless Commentater was entered I'd run the Met Mile with a short horse before I'd try the Derby with hm. Old Fashioned would run better in the Met Mile with a higher placing then the Derby.
