Why does it seem every year around the Breeder's Cup there are about a dozen trainers lamenting that 'the Sprint is a little short for their horse, but he's not quite as good on turf and he really doesn't want 1 1/4 miles. A flat mile on dirt hits him right between the eyes.' And every year the Met Mile, one of the great races, draws a six or seven horse field... probably five this year if it isn't wet.
