Yep; hard to fathom horses like Caleb's Posse, City of Light, Goldencents, or Life is Good making a dent in the Sprint what with their multiple Grade 1 wins/placings at sprint distances on their records.
Also, Knicks Go, City of Light, and Liam's Map didn't look like Classic candidates in their 9 furlong races.
But all that is relatively meaningless when you consider the tragedy for the industry if stalwarts like Furthest Land, Dakota Phone, Tapizar, and Tamarkuz were never BC Champions without the advent of the Dirt Mile.
