I don't want to get in the way of Johnny with his Kentucky Derby mounts. This was a particularly hard decision, because anyone who works or trains or is around Keyed Entry knows how good he is. You'd want to stay with a horse like that as long as possible. He's undefeated. He's training super. In a perfect world, Keyed Entry would already have gone two turns, so Johnny could have made a better comparison with Bluegrass Cat. Bluegrass Cat already has been a mile and an eighth, and he's already been a mile and a sixteenth this year. I think it came down to that.

He was a fresh horse and ran exactly the way we wanted him to.Todd Pletcher
Since the sale, he's been at Ashford, resting and doing a little jogging. We're in no hurry with him, although I still think he's the precocious type. We're just going to let him get settled in and take it slow.

Keyed Entry is an exceptionally gifted horse. He's got loads of speed, he's very willing and he's obviously done everything we've asked him to do so far.
Todd Pletcher
We considered all the options, the pros and cons. The weather looks, temperature-wise, like it will not be poor. And we don't have to worry about the rain with him.
Todd Pletcher
Obviously we know were in a position that he has to win the Classic to even think about that. If that happens then you can start looking at it a number of ways. Hes running against the strongest field any 3-year-old has run against this year. If hes able to get it done, lets soapbox then.
Todd Pletcher
He's matured physically and mentally and handles the distance. He's the whole package.
