He's just an enormously talented horse that's able to do those kinds of things without being totally focused just yet. Even though he's come a long way in a relatively short number of races he's still not battle seasoned.
More Quotes from Todd Pletcher:
I don't want to get in the way of Johnny with his Kentucky Derby mounts. This was a particularly hard decision, because anyone who works or trains or is around Keyed Entry knows how good he is. You'd want to stay with a horse like that as long as possible. He's undefeated. He's training super. In a perfect world, Keyed Entry would already have gone two turns, so Johnny could have made a better comparison with Bluegrass Cat. Bluegrass Cat already has been a mile and an eighth, and he's already been a mile and a sixteenth this year. I think it came down to that.Todd Pletcher
We considered all the options, the pros and cons. The weather looks, temperature-wise, like it will not be poor. And we don't have to worry about the rain with him.

Obviously we know were in a position that he has to win the Classic to even think about that. If that happens then you can start looking at it a number of ways. Hes running against the strongest field any 3-year-old has run against this year. If hes able to get it done, lets soapbox then.

His most impressive races in Chile were on dirt, so we decided to take a shot in the Cigar Mile and obviously it just didn't work out. It was probably the wrong time to do it following the Breeders' Cup.

Keyed Entry is an exceptionally gifted horse. He's got loads of speed, he's very willing and he's obviously done everything we've asked him to do so far.

No final decision has been made. He is going to come here with the possibility he could run in the Kentucky Derby. We will make the decision from here.
