Ever So Lucky is apparently being thought of as a miler at best by his trainer.

Sheppard last week in the DRF:

“He’s sort of an in-between horse in my estimation as far as distance is concerned,” Sheppard said. “He’s cut out to be a high-class miler, but because of his relaxed style he can stretch out, although I wouldn’t call him an out-and-out stayer. We’ll just take things one race at a time and see how he progresses. I don’t have any huge obsession to run in the Derby. It would be fun if we do, but I’m not going to run just for the sake of being there. I’m not going to sacrifice the horse to do that, and I think both I and Mr. Strawbridge feel the same way.”

Hes nice and all, but its a tough spot catching the Pletcher first time back. I do hope Ever So Lucky wins, it would be cool seeing Sheppard on the Derby Trail.
