My only real concern coming into the race is that he did not run well over this course last year. But that was only the second start of his career, and he was still a little green back then. I guess we can put that worry to bed now.
More Quotes from Todd Pletcher:
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.Todd Pletcher
I'm always disappointed when I don't win. I know everyone is critical of Bluegrass Cat's speed figures. But he does not have a bad record, and I think he'll improve with added distance. He had an excuse yesterday.

Pollard was tough, durable and consistent -- a real warrior, the type of horse everyone would want to own. He gave you everything he had.
