I do too. In her wins she was put into the race far earlier than yesterday when Gomez choked her back. Maybe the plan was to take her back not to compromise Indian Vale. Who knows how far back Pletcher told Gomez to take her but It's hard to believe he told him to wrestle her down like he did. The way the race played out, IV quit after a 1/4 mile and Octave was too far out of it.
Whoever said Octave is a hanger is either basing that utterance off one race or just finding another reason to knock Pletcher.
