Its all good though, Flighted. You will be getting a very bettable price
on a colt from a leading jockey/trainer combo ( each of whom will win multiple
Derbys when all is said and done).The colt has run well at CD. His running style
might be poor- post immune. He's been working well in company with the TAPazon
Rags to Riches. My feeling is that potential traffic problems are a much bigger
threat to his success than the 8 week rest
Rich I'm not so sure Pletcher is going to get to multiple Derby winners. Hes gonna need to go entirely grey and lose some hair to accumulate some real horsemanship. His horses start out fast and pretty much stay fast. I really dont think he's brought a horse on a forging pattern to the Derby but I'll check that in the Archives. At least that is my impression. I know many think he'll fill out the Trifecta, I think hes gonna miss the board even having stacked the deck. Theres no dodging or dancing in this one.
