I'm guessing it's merely a prep, and since they've already burned through Gayego, Desert Party, and Midshipman this year they might as well add insurance in case Vineyard Haven decides to flame out, too.
That said, seems like it would have been slightly more logical to swap places with Regal Ransom in today's allowance race (I think Girolamo was eligible), as the latter really needs to find a niche, which is probably at a flat mile. Despite winning today, I can't really think he'll be anything more than a pace factor in races like the JCGC (assuming there's more than 5 horses in the race) and the BC Classic. He's nothing more than another Slew City Slew, L'Carriere or Wanderin Boy.
Of course, he's still a lot more accomplished than Girolamo.
