Does Caleb's Posse shoot for the Sprint at 6F or the Dirt Mile at 1m?

Does anyone else think Mo and Shackleford should go for the Dirt Mile instead of the Classic?

Tough call... either you really hope for a meltdown in the Sprint, or you hope you can outrun some other decent mid-route type horses in the Dirt Mile.

Not me.

I think Mo will be deadly at 10f.

Then again, I've been without Internet access for over two days now, and as far as I know, Mo might have been retired by now.

Even if he could go 10f, he has no time to prepare for it. He'd be lucky to do as well as French Deputy, Hold That Tiger, or Formal Gold should he go in the Classic.

Obviously time is an issue.

However, FD and FG faced MUCH MUCH MUCH better horses than anything that might be in the gate come this years BCC.
