Any thoughts?

I was just going to ask about this. If only 8 are showing up, and his only entry is King of the Roxy, you would think Pletcher would be very tempted to send someone else. I don't think Deadly Dealer or Soaring By would be that effective here, but if CQ did come out of the race OK, I wouldn't see why not. 2nd off a layoff, facing 8 horses instead of 19, with a better distance and plenty of pace to close into.
I still like the Met Mile idea a little bit for CQ, but I'll take anything to make the Preakness a little more interesting than it currently looks on paper.
