FC ran in those NY Bred Stakes Races, I don't think he was ever considered for the BCJ, I believe did not FC faced open company until the Holy Bull Stakes of his 3yo year. Also, I remember Tagg being hesitant about wanting to go to the Derby, I think it was the owners pushing for that, I could be wrong, but I really doubt he was thinking Derby for this horse during his 2yo year.
