Maybe now he'll run at a distance he will be most effective at- sprinting on the turf. His late kick is completely useless in dumb run races like the United Nations. I bet IEAH is wishing they didnt run him there. He'll be flying at the end of those 6F - 7F sprints on the turf. Thats his niche.

Yeah, they ought to point him to the Jaipur. The hell with his wins in the Jamaica and Hollywood Derby last year, those were both a mirage.

Maybe they can get a match race together between him and Driven by Success going a mile right-handed at Saratoga.

That will probably be a win and you're in race.

Didnt the BC add a turf srpint last year? He ought to have a couple preps at Saratoga against Mohegan Sky and Redefined, then wheel out west and get use to the 6 1/2 F turf down the hill course. CV would loom a logical favorite in that race and give him and his owners a good chance at a BC win.

Yeah, I'm sure IEAH is thrilled to get a turf sprinter out of their $3 million investment.
