Mike... just curious... what are you basing your statement on that Lion Tamer doesn't want 10 furlongs?

His daddy, Will's Way, was a G1 winner at 10f and knocked heads with Skip Away, Louis Quatorze and Formal Gold. Plus, the entire male side of his pedigree screams distance (Easy Goer on down).

While there is a lot of speed on his dam side (Tippecanoe Creek), the damsire, Olympio, had the dangerous combo of speed over a distance. He was a multiple G1/G2 winner at 9f and 9.5f, and at 10f finished second twice in G1 company.

I think LT is scary, stalking speed with the ability in his pedigree to go a distance.

Time will tell.
