Find a easier tightener on the 24th somewhere else and then run in BG in Keeneland and run for the Derby with 3 weeks rest? Makes more sense.

Biancone's comments from like 3 to 4 weeks back were that he will definitely run in the Blue Grass and hopefully be ready to prep for it in the Lane's End but that he wouldn't be afraid to run the horse in the Derby off just the Blue Grass. He will not be running him in the Lane's End and then skipping the Blue Grass to go straight for the Derby. Him and Twilight Meteor could easily both wind up in the Derby field without ever running a race on dirt.
