Being first call for Todd Pletcher, this may be where Pletcher wanted him to be on Saturday. Pletcher has 3 horses running at Gulfstream on Saturday.
It is interesting to note that Chris Decarlo is named on both Ball Four in the San Pasqual at Santa Anita and Obligingly in Race 10 at Gulstream on Saturday (which leads me to believe that Pletcher could scratch one of his horses from the San Pasqual).

i was being a bit sarcastic. it's no surprise at all to me that he'd fly cross-country, all things considered. my point really was that i don't think cowboy cal should get a harder look just because a jock is travelling to ride him. if you thought CC had a chance before finding out the rider, then go for it. if you were ignoring him til you found out jv was coming, i'd still ignore him.
