Tampa has benefitted from the inability of GP to race 1 1/16 races. Thus the 3yo's have to go from a 1 turn mile to a 3 turn 9f. The alternative is the Tampa Bay Derby.

unless there is some new configuration that I don't know about, the 9F races are only 2 turn at Gulfstream.

No matter where he goes, no Cherokee Run is gonna win a properly contested Kentucky Derby (ie, honest pace up front). Pletcher better win a couple of slowly run preps at GP with him, announce that he's developed a fever, and skip the Triple Crown altogether.

What if he was a Cherokee Run who didn't need the lead? Pretty easy to say a speed horse won't win a race if he gets embroiled in a speed duel while conveniently throwing in some half-baked pedigree analysis.

Of course, your entire post might have some credibility if you even knew who trained War Pass.
