Seize the Grey will run in Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile
David Grening | Oct 15, 2024

Seize the Grey, the Preakness and Pennsylvania Derby winner, will make his next start in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on Nov. 2 at Del Mar, trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Tuesday.

Following Seize the Grey’s victory in the Grade 1, $1 million Pennsylvania Derby at Parx on Sept. 21, Lukas had left the $7 million Classic, at 1 1/4 miles, open as a possibility. On Tuesday, Lukas said after conferring with the ownership group that includes My Racehorse and Gainesway Farm, the decision was made to run in the Dirt Mile.

“I just think he might be more tactically suited there, we’re a good fit there,” Lukas said. “They were leaning toward the Mile and I couldn’t argue with that.”

There is a better chance, and a good one at that, that Domestic Spending is the second choice than Mufasa being a shorter price.

I think there is zero chance that an injured and retired horse is even running in this race
