Bluegrass Cat (122) (2-1) – ran a big one to win the Nashua, and not nearly as well to win the Remsen. He clearly is a good horse, but we think he’s a little overrated—top 3yos usually don’t bounce that much late in their 2yo year. He’ll definitely be over bet here—he would need to get back to his top to have any shot at all, and even that might not be good enough. Contender, but an underlay.
I read this the same way. He could certainly win but he was grossly overbet for his real chances in my opinion. But one thing is for certain with me and Pletcher, when I hold an opinion on his horses such as this one and I am sure the public is holding them at poor value - they consistently perform like trained seals.
