I'm not sure why " Keyed Entry should handle these ". First of all, he can't get an easy lead with Da Stoops in the race. Certainly he has distance questions, especially when he isn't on the front end, and frankly it is far from clear how good he is. More often than not horses in this barn that explode at Gulfstream over the winter are unable to reproduce these performances later in their careers ( of course mostly they never seem to appear again ). Another big question for him is why he was entered in the Woody Stephens, a race he seemed on paper to fit very well, and was scratched. Indecisiveness by handlers, especially ones as competent as Keyed Entry's, doesn't strike me as a particularly positive sign.
Yeah, I agree that it's an uninspiring bunch, and I guess Keyed Entry CAN win, but at the short price he figures to be I will be looking elsewhere. Where elsewhere I don't know yet. I'll probably use three in the Pick-4, pitch Keyed Entry who will run fifth, and still lose.
