Clearly he wasn't going to go long this year, so I assumed the Mile was right up his alley.

At this point, the Sprint is where he's going, so I'll have to accept that - and he does have a good shot.

if he ran in last years classic, then you have seen him go long. they have horses for other races, they tried him here to see if he'd go sprinting. he did and will attempt the bc sprint. he just won a gr 1 sprinting, what's not to like? your logic is questionable. it makes no sense to complain about a horse entering a race, but saying you think he could win-which is what you posed previously. gr 1's don't grow on trees. now you say you don't like him going in the sprint, while saying he has a good shot. again, no logic there.

I can't argue with you and I am very happy that he won a grade 1, so that supercedes any doubts I had or have.
