Eskendereya: 109 BSF for Wood

[Travis Stone]

Don't get too hung-up on this number. Regardless of whether or not it's 101, 109 or 119, Eskendereya posted an effort out there that no one in this crop has come close to.

People said the same thing about Frankel in the BC, about geldings winning the Derby and about NY breds winning the Derby. The history is damning but I've always thought it's only a matter of time for Pletcher.

Pletcher was 1-for-41 ... in fact, 41-1-6-4 at last years CD Spring meet.

The 0-for-24 Derby record means absolutely nothing ... however, the fact that he's normally red hot in the winter and cools off in spring is a concern for me.

Gulfstream has always been his best meet and CD has always been a place where his barn signficantly underperforms against their odds.
