Never.

Needing wraps and using wraps are two different things. Afleet Alex always ran in wraps.. what of it?
Running the big effort isn't the issue... Running back too soon after the effort IS... Carl Nafzger is again, the difference here.
Keyed Entry ran on that horrible sloppy track at Gulfstream which also ruined First Samurai, and then ran back way too soon in the Gotham (?)...
Second of June ran back as well after the FOY and wasn't even three at the time yet (chronologically)...
FuSam.. who cares?
Nafzger will turn this colt out and give him every minute he needs to recover.
