"Mr. Fantasy continues to train nicely since his last race. He breezed an easy half-mile in 49.30 this morning at Palm Meadows. Mike reports that he has shown no physical problems and is moving soundly. Mike thinks that an allowance race going a flat mile on the main track at Aqueduct is our best bet as a next race. Accordingly, we are going to point for the allowance race on April 18th at Aqueduct. This would give us six weeks until the Met Mile on May 31st at Belmont if we were to run well. Mike plans on shipping Mr. Fantasy back to New York about ten days before the race, as he would like to get a work over the Aqueduct strip before running. We considered the Billy Red Coat Stakes on April 21st, but that race is seven furlongs. Our ultimate goal is not overnight stakes races, but graded stakes races. Mike thinks going a flat mile in the allowance race is more advantageous than going shorter in the overnight stake. The purse difference is not that great, and an overnight stake does nothing of note for a graded stakes winner like Mr. Fantasy."
