Met Mile

Mr. Fantasy is all systems go for Monday's $600,000 G1 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park. He drew towards the outside which should allow Mike Luzzi the opportunity to work out a good trip for our colt. Kiaran did not want to be on the rail because he felt it would force our hand to go on with it early. While Mr. Fantasy has shown tremendous speed so far in his young career, we do not feel he is a need-the-lead type of horse.
As one would expect, the Met Mile drew some tough customers, but we are not scared of any of them. He was assigned 109 pounds, nine fewer than the top weight (Smooth Air), and we are very excited for Mr. Fantasy's first run in a race of this magnitude.
