Is your KING OF THE ROXY this year's version of Todd Pletcher/White Mercedes' KEYED ENTRY?
Last year, after KEYED ENTRY ran a spectacular -1 ThoroGraph orgasm in the 2006 Hutcheson Stakes at Gulfstream, beating FIRST SAMURAI, he was stretched out in the Gotham six weeks later and finished a good second there. He "bounced" for sure, yet he hung remarkably tough, bouncing just a mere two points, running a 1.
KING OF THE ROXY ran his -1 orgasm by winning the 2007 Hutcheson. Stretched out in Saturday's Santa Anita Derby, he too hung tough to finish a terrific second. Running a great race, running wide, did he also run a 1? Let's see how Jerry rated it.
My two cents is that KING OF THE ROXY is KEYED ENTRY. To see your future, see KEYED ENTRY's ThoroGraph sheet from Saturday's Carter at Aqueduct, and note that in the world of the Pletcher/White Mercedes barn, everything is trumped by steroids and how your horse's constitution handles the injections. Will the -1 orgasm KING OF THE ROXY had in the Hutcheson ultimately prove to be his finest hour?
Time heals. If the Preakness is next, best of luck there. Your move. Buy low, sell high.
