Nothing wrong with him, he just has the talent of a decent classified allowance horse, and they keep running him in Graded company.

Pletcher mismanaging a Triple Crown horse? That's rare.

Not sure why they would take a horse that was running well on dirt, hoping to get into the biggest dirt race of the 3yo season and send him to run on Poly.
By winning an allowance in Jan at GP he marked himself as a candidate for the Derby trail. (In retrospect, nothing much came out of that race, but hey, alot of us thought that Danger to Society looked serious winning HIS allowance.) Instead of pointing for the FOY or the TB Derby or one of the FG or Oaklawn races on dirt, he goes to Cali for a pair of Poly races? I know trainers say synthetics are great for training over but in Cali you have to race on them too. Maybe he thought he'd move up on poly and earn more graded money. As it turned out, he could have gone in the Derby off his second to the 'Mousse and his 4th to POTN. I did think he'd run better than last on Sat, though I didn't use him either. There's no reason not to send him (if he's healthy) to Belmont to try a NW2x (albeit against olders) or maybe KY where he might find a NW2x against straight 3yos. There might be some 3yo overnight stakes at Belmont for him as well. I agree that if he's OK, run him. The issue is that he needs to run where he belongs.
