I'm wondering if Joel still wants to express thoughts that Scat Daddy will win the BC Juvenile.
The three weeks rest is a real tough thing to overcome and Pletcher himself has expressed reservations about running a horse on short rest.
I think hes making the right play, he actually owns some of that horse and getting him a grade one win is crucial to make him a sire. I think hes more interested in winning the Champagne with Daddy than he is anything else. I don't know that he would even run him back in the BC Juvenile on anything less than a stellar win.
