I've seen projected Derby Off Odds on this board where Pletchers horses were no better than 10-1 up. Most Pletcher horses sitting on a top race are in the 9-5 range. Either everyone that has projected off odds is underestimating the Pletcher horses chances or they don't figure prominently in this Derby. Granted Bluegrass Cat was 30-1 plus coming out of his Bluegrass drubbing. This time however, you've got three Pletchers coming in off wins and one coming in with the best company line that probably went X last race.

Dilemma! If the Pletchers do go off 10-1 plus do you take him and if you do which one do you take? Kinda like needle in a haystack aint it? Maybe, just maybe the smart play is to box all the Pletchers? Yeah, thats the ticket!
