Yeah, but that would be a tall task and I think a horrible idea.....you can't take a horse who has had a bad comeback after a bad experience in the Triple Crown, and then decide to turn him back to sprinting from 1 1/4 miles in a tough race and expect him to be as fast as Too Much Bling, etc. and then decide to ship him across the country again a month later to go 1 1/8 miles for $1 million and expect him to be at his best through that kind of campaign......that is a classic way on how to SOUR a horse...

Do whats right....he's had a hard campaign and just ran a very hard race in the BC Classic....give him a little freshening and point for a prime effort for $1 million against restricted company at GP in January.....the hjorse is already a Grade 1 winner so the grade f the Malibu is not so relevent to me as is running for a $1 million purse where you'll be about 5-2 or so in the betting...

Hell, the horse is a Benchmark out of some obscure California female family...believe me, his value as a stallion will NOT be improved by him winning the Malibu.....they need to race for purse money to maximize this horse at this point......
