Or the next Graydar.

Unbridled's Song. Spaced out races. Debut late as a 3yo. Debut late at 4. Jumped back to left lead late.

Nice horse. But won't be surprised if he fails to make it to the BC.

But hey, he's already done enough to be a stallion so the train keeps rolling.

Meanwhile, I'd like to see Mylute refurbished as a late-running sprinter. How far is the Vosburgh nowadays?

I am of the opinion Liams Map takes the QRoad Lawyer Ron Graydar Cross Traffic route to detonation, he will turn into a pumpkin before classic

The Vosburgh is 6 furlongs.

They are talking Dirt Mile for Liam's Map...Now granted, that's obviously an easier spot (no kidding). But you run that race in the Whitney, which was tremendous, and then win the Woodward...you go to the Classic. The Dirt Mile is not supposed to take a horse that would be one of the top choices in the Classic. If the Classic loses a 30-1 shot, so be it. But running Liam's Map in the Dirt Mile would be Point A for those (not me) that said the Breeders Cup would be competing against itself adding that race.

It's his last race Champion Miler is what connection want on his Stallion page right? 3rd in BCC after a stunning race is what we want to see not a walk over..

BTW it's a Mile and 70 yards NOT a mile

I agree with you. I'm just saying that if you lose a horse that could easily have won Saratoga's two grade 1 handicap races for older horses to a 2nd tier BC race, that would be bad for the Breeders Cup and bad for the fans and the game.

Private Zone and Liam's Map would be fun in the Dirt Mile though.
