However, would it be too much to ask for Shanghai Bobby to run 3x before the Derby? He is playing with fire with Violence and Shanghai Bobby both, who will each probably put forth Quality Road-esque performances given their need for enough points to make the field. No one should feel bad for Pletcher since he will have at least one horse in nearly every final prep (save UAE Derby).

No Argument here. Maybe this will be a good thing as owners will get really pissed if they missed their Derby opportunity because Pletcher decided to only run once.
