Since the sale, he's been at Ashford, resting and doing a little jogging. We're in no hurry with him, although I still think he's the precocious type. We're just going to let him get settled in and take it slow.
More Quotes from Todd Pletcher:
He lost all position at a pivotal point in the race. He just didn't handle the second turn. But if there is a good time to get beat, this was one of them.Todd Pletcher
He's a pretty forward horse and the key is just really if they can relax just enough to make their speed dangerous and keep carrying it.

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.

When you get to October, it's generally the right time of year to try 3-year-olds against older horses. That part of it we're not overly concerned about. The kind of races he ran in the Jim Dandy and Travers we don't necessarily really need to improve.

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.

I think we are going to see exciting cricket all the way. We are watching the two best teams in the world-and I think England will eventually go on to pip Australia by a single Test.
