I agree 100% with jms. With 2 of your bigger owners, no sense to beat each other up. There are plenty of spots before the BC for each and they are nice races. Dortmund could take the Saratoga/Belmont route. He's a very good horse and I think this time off will have done him some good. He had a strenuous campaign this year. He may come back bigger and better than ever.
Baffert is very good at this. He's juggled multiple good horses for multiple owners over the years and kept them happy. Either the NY or SoCal route makes sense for Dortmund and he should actually be able to withstand it due to not running in all the TC races.
