I hope Lukas doesn't send Dublin to the Breeders Cup so they can stew over not having a top 2YO because of their idiotic decision to run it on the rubber and plastic. Send him to the Champagne, then send him to the Nashua over a Mile, and then finish up in the Remsen so you can stretch him out around 2 turns over dirt, or go Iroquois over a Mile, and then Kentucky Jockey Club to stretch around 2 turns. If he wins the Champagne which I certainly think he has to be looked at as the horse to beat in there going into it, and he ends up winning in those next two races, he'll have a pretty good claim of 2YO champ without a BC win on his resume with 2 G1 wins and 2 G2 wins if he does in in NY, and it would be 2 G1s, 1 G2, and 1 G3 win if he goes the Kentucky route.

2/3 CHALKS, Have never stepped on dirt. One has run really fast, and the other is Baffert.
As for Dublin, hes really good. I actually bet him second time out and TOUTED him on Monday. I like him, but I think the Baffert might end up being the goods. Below is my win/place wager on Dublin. I also used him in every pick 3 possible, I used him that day with Hockey and was really trying to beat the Discreet horse.
