Because beating horses on dirt and beating horses on poly aren't the same thing. You automatically assume that he'll take to the poly and be better on it than on dirt. And, besides Curlin, the top older horses ARE on the poly - Heatseaker and Tiago. Those are the ones he'll have to beat (but won't be able to) in the classic - not the great Barcola and Grasshopper. And I can't even understand the rest of your post - but if you're saying he'll be going to the Pacific Classic you're way off. Not that I wouldn't put it past the connections to make a stupid decision like that from their jail cells, but I'm pretty sure he'll be running in the Arlington Million where he belongs.
