It is difficult to answer with any degree of certainty, as there is a scenario, albeit unlikely, in which Too Darn Hot could contend for top sprinter honours at the end of the year.

He is entered for Haydock's Sprint Cup and should he run, and win, then connections would have all sorts of options for the remainder of the season.

I think the Breeders' Cup Mile is an ideal target, but it might be worth having a crack at sprinting given how much speed Too Darn Hot possesses. He may end up champion miler, but it could almost be by proxy.
