Default Tin Cup Chalice to Japan Cup Dirt

From Finger Lakes to a $2.5MM race halfway across the globe. Not bad for a horse that cost $5k.

Then Smooth Air should go as well?

What does " he deserves a shot " mean? Roll the dice? You have been inundated by too much trainerspeak. If he deserves anything it is to be placed in spots he can win.....which his connections have done a good job of doing....until now. Plus, he was scratched with a small issue a week ago.....and now he's shipping half way around the world to finish last.

He does not " deserve " that.

It's a rather.... "aggressive" spot.

Was honestly expecting him in the Discovery or some other much more reasonable spot, but hey it's a chance of a lifetime for the owner/trainer, and knowing the way the JRA operates he'll be shipped for free, entered for free, etc. Sounds like the JRA went down the list of American horses and got turned down till they got to TCC.
