I have nothing against Scat Daddy, but watching several of his races, I've never said, "wow...I think he has a chance to win the kentucky derby".
I think he's turned out to be better than even Pletcher thought, otherwise he might not have sold his share in him last year.
Nice tactical speed which should keep in in decent position , but if he gets into trouble, I don't see him having the ability to overcome it like some others.
Forgive me if this if offbase, but I actually compare him a little bit to another Florida Derby winner, High Fly.
His best distance was probably 1-mile to 1-16 and maybe that's where Scat Daddy would excel as well.
