If he does run in the With Approval, could he still run in either the million dollar Ricoh Mile Stakes or the 300K Northern Dancer Stales on 9/14? Maybe.
The fact that Sky Captain just had a workout on turf indicates that his stable is considering running him in one of the grass races on 9/14. Nothing to do now but wait and see.
I am guessing that Dynamic Sky will be running in the 300K Northern Dancer Stakes (G1). If that is true, then maybe Sky Captain will run in the Ricoh Woodbine Mile. That way the 2 colts won't be running against each other. But they could.
Well, this is a surprise. Apparently, the With Approval Stakes is not going to be run on 8/31 (Sunday). Sunday's entries have been posted, and the With Approval Stakes is not included in the races. Maybe the date of the With Approval Stakes has been changed to Monday (9/1) or sometime later, or maybe that race is cancelled for some reason. This is the first time I have seen this happening.
So, if the With Approval Stakes is changed to Monday or sometime after, will Sky Captain still run in it? I guess he could. If that race is sometime after, will Sky Captain still run in it and either the Northern Dancer Stakes or the Ricoh Mile? I guess that it depends on how close together the races are. If the races are only a few days apart or about a week apart, then I am sure that Sky Captain won't run in two of the races. It would be either the With Approval or one of the two turf stakes races on 9/14. If the race is Monday, then the stable could be using the With Approval as a tune up for one of the big stakes races on 9/14.
So, where does that leave Dynamic Sky? I think that he will run in the Northern Dancer Stakes. JMO.
