Are they considering him for the Classic?
Personally I don't think he would have much of a shot in there with the big boys (especially coming off a 2-month layoff) but given his nice efforts over that track this summer - including one at 9f - and the fact that he has a pretty good 10f pedigree, I could see them taking a shot.
If he goes, does that kill any chance Hard Spun might have had to wire the field?

He will be killer in the Dirt Mile, and I expect he'll be overlooked again like he was in the Iselin. I like this horse's progression...
