Basically, all that happened was that the connections decided to pass the Rebel because they didn't want to run him two more times in a short window before the Derby. Fine, if they think they have a horse who can compete in all three legs of the triple crown series, I don't blame them.
Now, you are left with The Wood or The Illi Derby as your options.
You pass on the bigger tougher field, and go where you will be the odds on favorite in a short field.
What is it you disagree with most - not putting in two more starts before the TC Series or opting for the Hawthorne race over the Wood?
Unless you can predict unforeseen pace scenerios and track biases long in advance - the horse was spotted correctly.
