They just decided not to run him in the Classic because DaHoss daid they were nuts. LOL.

As an aside, Caradak was 3rd today.

What do you think, GW... he and Librettist are both "accepted runners" for the G1 in Japan mid-month. Do they spread them out now, send Echo of light... what do you see happening?

It's quite simple. George Washington is being aimed at the mile but, as we know, in racing anything can happen. He might step on a stone 2 days before the race, or get cast in his box. So of course its impossible for anyone to say he's going to run. He's being aimed at the race. BTW in the absence of Iffraaj, he's been shortened in the betting, as short as 5/4, but with 7/4 available with Coral and Hills.

The Classic is not on the cards at all, because there's no way they'd chance his stamina in a race like that first time on dirt. Whoever mentioned the possibility of that race needs to get a grip on reality!

Where do I get this grip that I so desperately need?
