To me this seems to be about WPT wanting to gain traction selling the yearlings they just purchased.
VERY Bad for racing, good for selling partnerships I guess?

Your assumption is original owners don't call the shots and because WPT took a stake they make the decisions? Not possible the original owners think he fits in a G1 mile for $600K and that he might not have the stuff to defeat the big 3 in the Classic?
