Audible is scheduled to face his elders in December and I presume the Clark, Cigar Mile, and Native Diver might draw a 3yo or two.

So basically Justify beat one horse who won a stakes over older horses- and that was a speedball winning a sprint stakes who was entered at the wrong distance in the Derby.
Sorry Spalding, that's not good enough.
