"Circular Quay is also a contender. I don't like that Pletcher backed off with him, because it could hint at a problem, but if it isn't a sign of a problem, this horse has the 2 year old foundation, the breeding and the fastest 3 year old race of any of the contenders. As I said, Pletcher is loaded. I think he has the three most likely winners in AGS, Scat Daddy and this one."
What about Cowtown Cat?
Its still quite clear that Johnny V is going to be upon what the stable perceives to be Pletcher's best horse. Todd will have some imput upon this of course, and Johnny V. Has bailed on AGS for the eight week layoff, distance virgined, Circular Quay. If I were contemplating the "Milkshake Trifecta" I'd be a little concerned about that fact. Then again, maybe Quay wins with AGS second and Scat Daddy third. The trainer bettors can dream can't they?
Another angle is that ostensibly coming in with a loaded hand, this is the race where it all catches up to the stable and the best effort comes from the much overlooked and ocassionally misfigured Cowtown Cat.
Lexington Day wasn't kind to Todd. Lots of crowd money evaporated upon the Maximum Trainer...lol
