Why in the heck would anybody point Shirocco for the Classic?

Money.

He already won the BC Turf, his stud value is limited...unless he wins, or even places, in a race like the Classic.

Shirocco's expected to stand in Germany. That's why he didn't use Lasix last year. No horse who has used race day Lasix is permitted to stand at stud in Germany.

It's too bad we don't follow suit.
