Liam's Map will not run in the BC Classic, Pletcher confirmed he will start in the BC Dirt Mile. American Pharoah and Beholder have to be happy to hear this....Honor Code not so much:>) TJ

I think this is a better choice for him. 10 furlongs might have been just a little too much for him, especially with some of the others waiting for him to hit the wall. The Bloodhorse article says that it's actually not a mile this year but just over a mile - which suits Liams Map even more so. It's hard to say how tough the Dirt Mile will be (not as tough as the Classic IMO), but if Appealing Tale goes in the Dirt Mile it may not be a total walk in the park for LM.

It's really too bad Private Zone isn't going in the Dirt Mile...he probably just scared away some of the Sprint horses!
