I'm as big a fan of his as any, but even I realize he has absolutely NO shot to win the Derby. It's quite obvious there is NO way that he gets the distance. He could be a nice miler on the weeds though. Wrong surface and wrong distance. If Pletcher's gun was loaded for the derby, I'm sure he'd opt out of it for CC and find a more suitable race.
