Think of Go for Wand or Barbaro. Should they never run in another race with Discreet Cat because of the possibility that he can be lost?

Man, stop with that nonsense. It's about being smart with the horse. It's just plain dumb to go from facing Rumspringa at seven furlongs and Valid Notebook at a one-turn mile to facing the best horses in the world at six furlongs or ten. Period.

That's how you ruin a horse.

If they ducked the Cigar Mile, then I'd be on your side. But skipping the BC is just logical and levelheaded.
