oh, i thought when you wrote 'Pletcher was pissed how the track came up that day before the race even went off' that he knew beforehand.

i don't think it matters. pletcher blaming that surface and the super is as meaningful as jones blaming his jock. and if dunkirk couldn't handle a sped up surface in fla, i doubt he handles one in ky.
as for what he goes off at, i really couldn't say. shorter odds than he should i'd imagine.

as for pletcher knowing his horses, that's a whole other topic of discussion.

Dunkirk's chances of getting in are growing stronger everyday. I think he'll get in and I think he'll be the 3rd choice at 8-1. Remember he was overbet in the Florida Derby and everyone following the trail knows about him. A bunch of hunch players (there are a lot on Derby Day) will bet him down because the fortunate chain of events that got him in are pure destiny....I'm not using him on top.

if a super, i might put him in the fourth spot. but pletcher once had five runners in the field, and didn't even hit the super spot....still time to figure all that out tho.
