Yeah, but I knew that KE would have been screwed up like Spanish Chestnut was after running in a route that was way beyond his distance limitations. What the owners of both of these horses were thinking when they decided to run nice sprinters/milers in the Derby, I don't know?
Now, Pletcher has to figure out what to do with this horse that he knows is screwed up. The horse was very rank at the beginning of the Dwyer, and just couldn't last. I think Pletcher definitely needs to put the horse back in sprints, which is probably what he wants to do only the owners are most likely getting in the way.
You're right about Baffert. He is doing well this year, but I think Pletcher is doing better.
