Part of my thinking is:
The owners are from right around Monmouth which is about an hour from Parx. Reportedly they have wanted to run close to home and had a huge turnout yesterday. He is probably better off at the PA Derby distance and the race spacing seems to fit the pattern of his best performances. He will be odds on in PA instead of bumping into another very good improving horse trained by Pletcher.
