The fact that he had never been tried in a sprint race, broke his MDN at 9f and was the only horse in a stamina-testing event that had run 5x at 9f or more must not have been considered. He had been advertised since his juvenile season as a horse that would need distances as long as they wrote races to be successful and has a running style of :24+ quarters 100% conducive to production in this particular race. Those merits were heavily featured on these pages and on radio, so 'Pletcher magic' was hardly the only pro.
