Personally I thought his army's chances stacked up as such:
CQ
AGS
SD
Cowtown Cat
King of the Roxy
Sam P

I think the Turfway debut had more to do with Polytrack than anything else. WinStar seems to like its horses running in Kentucky, AGS was ready to go and Turfway was open. That just seems to make sense in my mind. Of course, I don't have ten contenders for the Derby.

Keeneland opened 3 days later for 2-2.5x the MSW pot. If he ABSOLUTELY had to run, I understand it... needless to say, it was an excellent debut.

I agree, Pletcher even said that he knew AGS was classy when he got up to win that one sprinting when he knew he wanted a route.
