Limehouse in the BC Mile?

Postby StrawberryFelidos » Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:21 pm

So, according to BloodHorse, Limehouse is being pointed to the BC Mile on turf.
Any thoughts on this one? Seems bizarre to me, considering that he finished fifth in his first-ever turf race not too long ago, plus considering all of the tough European horses (who run really really well on grass ) are coming over to run in it. Considering that, finishing fifth to Americans doesn't seem like a ticket-puncher to me.

Hey, our horse doesn't like distance, so let's toss him on the turf and run him on the mile! Hope he learns to like turf! :wink:

Pletcher did the same with Balto Star a few years back. First tried him in the Mile, then a couple years in the Turf Classic. Probably from the D. Wayne Lukas philosophy of " you can't win if you don't run".
