Woodward BC Mile Cigar for Life is Good work for me. Win two of those three, and they could retire him, but I guess they will look to finish in the Donn. He is a very cool horse. That is the type of horse that excites fans. I don't need him Country Grammer or Dynamic One etc. to get the best of him in the final strides of the Classic. I don't see how that is awesome save-betting against him.
Olympiad should target the Cigar for his G1. Flight Risk? who knows with him? Let me see make the pp's

When you consider the prospects of Grade 3 horses like Country Grammar & Dynamic One in the Classic (and furthermore previous winners like Volponi, Vino Rosso, Drosselmeyer, etc), you probably made a compelling argument for the suits to cut the Classic to 9 furlongs. Quote:
Poor Life is Good, he'd actually have to validate his bloated reputation by winning a race of some consequence over a true classic distance. Quote:

To be fair, Stilleto Boy did beat Express Train in a 3-horse field in a prep for the Gold Cup (which itself was one by an allowance horse) so I guess it probably means Flightline could have won those. Oh, and Baby Yoda (conquerer of Grade 1 winner-in-waiting Olympiad) won a couple of starter allowances this year, so there's that...

While I can definitely understand having doubts about Flightline and Life is Good's ability to successfully get 10f in top company, I at least want to feel like there is actually a horse capable of taking advantage of their weaknesses. For Flightline in the upcoming Pacific Classic and Life is Good in the Woodward, I just don't see it.

Read: All it takes to excite fans these days are a couple of open lengths wins in short fields of dubious quality from an unsound speedball with no stamina.
Just imagine Housebuster in this era of disposable "super horses"... Save the preps for the Derby; stakes racing isn't particularly interesting for the most part (on dirt). Too many stakes, too few owners that compete on such a level, and too few foals. Plus, the owners cooperate with one another vs. compete. I worked with Levy's brother-in-law at Lehman brothers. He had a great picture of Housebuster after winning the Kings Bishop
