Strong Contender is much slower than Keyed Entry.

Keyed Entry is just an overrated horse. He had a good race down in Florida on a wet track. He hasnt done crap since. Heck, that race was in Feb or March I believe. That is way too far back for me. Maybe just maybe Keyed Entry isnt any good.

Euro I thought you were sharper than that.
Horses get affected by injuries or overexertion and the ill advised attempt at the Derby was obviously his undoing. Was he ever going to be a top class router? no. Was he going to be a very good miler and middle distance horse, yes.

What indication, if any, has showed that Keyed Entry would have been a good miler or middle distance horse? I dont see it...maybe I am missing something but this horse just hasnt progressed during 2006. He didnt look all that good during Derby week and he got injured during the Derby. But he hasnt shown anything to me that suggests he would have been a good miler or middle distance horse. Throw out the Hutchenson and make your case.

His Gotham got him a great number as well on the sheets and he ran a big race there. IN the Wood he was cutting the pace on a track that highly favored outside closers, the rail was quicksand that day, so that race is basically a throwout. YOu can't just forget the Gotham and Hutch and nothing is crazier than condemning a horse because he obviously is hurting.
