Union Rags is bred to be extremely precocious all-around. Up close, he's best suited as a sprinter/miler IMO.

I'd load up on him in the Belmont if the race was 7 furlongs or a 1-turn mile.
Gone West mares have produced offspring capable of winning at all distances. If he was built like a sprinter/miler, I might be willing to toss him aside, but he's not.

Steve

You talk a lot about developing 3 year olds and their tendencies to pair up figures and move forward. In looking at the pp it appears that Atigun Dullahan and Paynter all fit with that general theory. That said, it looks like I'll Have Another may also be eligible for either a pairing of the Preakness figure or another step forward. Any thoughts?
