More Quotes from Todd Pletcher:
My only real concern coming into the race is that he did not run well over this course last year. But that was only the second start of his career, and he was still a little green back then. I guess we can put that worry to bed now.Todd Pletcher
He ran well going a mile and one-half in the Turf Classic and in the Breeders' Cup Turf, although I think he might be most effective going a mile and one-eighth to a mile and one-quarter because of his explosive turn of foot.

Right now, what I would like to do with him is run him in the Kentucky Derby. I thought he ran enough in the Florida Derby. I think he's an improving horse. We're obviously watching his earnings status closely. Sometime after Saturday, I have to make a decision. Right now, it looks like he's right on the bubble.

He had a torn muscle in his left-hind leg, ... We did an internal blister on him and gave him some down time to get that straightened away. We were originally thinking about bringing him back in the (Alfred G.) Vanderbilt (gr. II, Aug. 13 at Saratoga), but we just ran out of time. He's worked well up to the Forego. We just hope he shows up and runs his 'A' race.

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.
