I did notice it, but didn't post it here. Someone I know pointed it out to me. I did post it in my myspace blog called Derby Selections 3 days before the Derby.
Pletcher usually denies that there is a problem with one of his horses when there is one, tries to spin it so it doesn't sound like a big deal, or just doesn't mention that there is a problem at all when one exists with one of them. He covers his butt, and I can't blame him for it.
Other examples of Todd Pletcher's denials/cover-ups/or fail to mentions: Flower Alley, Any Given Saturday, Bluegrass Cat, etc...
I think quite a few horses are a lot more talented than they showed in the Derby. Scat Daddy is one of them, but I still don't think that he would have hit the board even if he was allowed to run his best race without the traffic problems.
