Pletcher's usual style is not to run back in 3 weeks. His whole program is about spacing and setting up a horse for a max effort. This colt has been asked to do quite a bit since his debut Jan 13th. If he makes it to the KY Derby it will be his 3rd race in 7 weeks, which is a different kettle of fish than 2 races in 3 weeks. So I don't think you can put his last race and the KY Derby in a 3 week box and compare him to Danza and a few others that were mentioned.
I also have a sneaking suspicion his sheet on TG is going to look very different than his sheet on Rags.
