Believe me, I was ready to dump on Pluck in a big way too... But, after a second viewing, it was his first back after 120 days, the pace he was attacking was glacial, and he started running too late. He did make up a lot of ground in the last 100 yards and looked best at that point. He should have dusted this bunch, and I think the European campaign is presposterous, but I wouldn't hold yesterday against him too much.
