I think Tagg has to figure out what exactly he's best at, and he doesn't have a great deal of time to do it. The Mile seems like the only logical spot, and you know the Jacksons are going to want to be there. I would say that with the modest career starts, long distance limitations (9.5f max?) and ability to win on dirt and turf, he's the closest thing we've seen to War Chant..
To be honest with you if I were Frankel I would run cacique in the mile.
His turn of foot when rated is just crushing, and the mile would allow him to settle off a hotter pace, esepcially at Cd where the mile is two turns.
Don't be surprised if frankel chooses the mile with cacique. hes prone to changing his mind, and I wouldnt be surprised if he went mile with cacique, and won.
Showing Up should be much better at age 4, the properly handled ones always are.
