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.
More Quotes from Todd Pletcher:
Right now, what I would like to do with him is run him in the Kentucky Derby. I thought he ran enough in the Florida Derby. I think he's an improving horse. We're obviously watching his earnings status closely. Sometime after Saturday, I have to make a decision. Right now, it looks like he's right on the bubble.Todd Pletcher
He had a torn muscle in his left-hind leg, ... We did an internal blister on him and gave him some down time to get that straightened away. We were originally thinking about bringing him back in the (Alfred G.) Vanderbilt (gr. II, Aug. 13 at Saratoga), but we just ran out of time. He's worked well up to the Forego. We just hope he shows up and runs his 'A' race.

Everything unfolded the way we thought it would and the way we hoped it would. This was a home run. The Jim Dandy was the kind of performance that propelled Flower Alley to the next level.

The surface has a bit of a quirky reputation, so it's important that he already has started there. It can be tiring for some horses the first time over it, but he handled it. It has the reputation of being very safe and if it rains, since it's sand-based, it can handle the moisture.

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.

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.

A date once leaned in to kiss me, and he ended up kissing my cheek. He was a little offended, but I didn't want to kiss him just to not hurt his feelings.
