General A Rod lost ground in the stretch twice in his five starts.
The Fla Derby and the one turn mile allowance at Churchill when he was on the front getting pressured the whole way in fast fractions.
The other three races(two of which he won) he did not lose ground.The loss in the FOY was a match race with WR where they were neck and neck pretty much the entire race and he lost on a head bob at the wire.
Since the Fla Derby was his only nine furlong try and he backed up a length or so in the stretch chasing a moderate pace I can see where you wouldn't want him in the Derby.Other four races and his overall sheet are gonna look pretty solid though.
