it would have been rushing to get chrome ready for the travers. definitely has a lot more prestige, but the penna derby makes far more sense for a variety of reasons.
later in the year, better spacing to use as a single prep for the bcc, since they say only one race prior to the classic. better distance, more prep time to bring the horse back from a tough spring campaign as well as a hoof injury. shorter distance, not as tough competition, same age group, and a sweet purse.
what's not to like in regard to long term goals?
