I doubt that.

The BCC is on the only surface he can win over.

I thought the 3yos were supposed to improve as the year goes on. Why are these getting worse? That was horrible. They walked in 2:03.28

Afleet Express by a nostril over Fly Down. First Dude was done at the top of the lane and still outfinished those that engulfed him and ran third.

And if they find him a nice NW3/optional claimer on that surface he has a shot to win.

If for some reason Blame and Quality Road don't show up, the BC Classic would be just such a race.

I don't buy the slop being the reason he won those 2 races at CD.

Hard to prove though until he runs there again and it's not wet.

I'm not saying he's a lock in the BCC, but hell, this group of horses aiming to the BCC ain't much.

He can be in the mix in the photo for 5th with the rest of the 3YOs in the BCC.

I say at best there is maybe a 40% chance she goes.

It's probably more like 15%.
