I see a number of folks on this thread like Soaring By in this race. I suggest going back and look closely at his race on the Fla Derby undercard. That was as weak a NW1 allowance run at this meet. He pressed extremely slow fractions, and struggled to get by a very mediocre horse (and held off another very mediocre horse). Even though he is bred to "go long" he did not appear to want to go long (I know he won). He also did not take "a lot of money" in the race (yeah I know he went off at 4-5, but if you look at the Past Performances of that race it would appear he should have been 1-5 vs those).

I advise this since he will obviously take a lot of money again (based on the connections) and unless the Poly improves him significantly I don't see him hitting the board.

I know this sounds completely crazy. . . but I think Pletcher wants this horse in the Derby to be used as a rabbit for CQ. . .
