Blackthroat, your point about the Geo Washington decision is correct. "Sporting" was the wrong word. My follow-up then is this.

If the Euros/Coolmore see greater riches in a 1 turn mile BC Dirt win than in a 10f Classic win, the Classic loses more. Let's face it, everyone looks to milers for stallion prospects. If, in a year or so (especially once there have been a few BC Dirt Miles at 1 turn) if it begins to look like the hot young stallion prospects are coming out of the Dirt Mile the Classic becomes anachronistic.
