More often than not horses in this barn that explode at Gulfstream over the winter are unable to reproduce these performances later in their careers ( of course mostly they never seem to appear again ). Another big question for him is why he was entered in the Woody Stephens, a race he seemed on paper to fit very well, and was scratched. Indecisiveness by handlers, especially ones as competent as Keyed Entry's, doesn't strike me as a particularly positive sign.
Yeah, I agree that it's an uninspiring bunch, and I guess Keyed Entry CAN win, but at the short price he figures to be I will be looking elsewhere. Where elsewhere I don't know yet. I'll probably use three in the Pick-4, pitch Keyed Entry who will run fifth, and still lose.

KE put in quite an effort at 7.5F in the Hutcheson. I think 8.5F is perfect for him. More than anything, I just don't think much of anything else in the field. They probably pulled him from the Woody Stephens because they feel he has a shot at stretching out in the Haskell. I doubt it but 8.5F is perfect for him.
