I think Matz is perfectly happy to try to pick off some late-season races that will help breeding value. Remember that Chelokee's owner, Centennial Farms, also owns Vitruvius, a swift allowance winner at Aqueduct who was scratched from the Peter Pan. Matz probably knows that Chelokee COULD be able to develop into a Travers horse with the right progression.
It could be a great summer for Centennial Farms between Chelokee, Vitruvius, and Corinthian.
