If that horse was ANYTHING AT ALL, he would have made his debut in NY or at Monmouth, especially only a week away from Toga.

So, your point, is that the PUBLIC ALONE made this horse 3/5? Never ran across DEAD on the BOARD Pletcher horses before? (Like that layoff horse Sunday at MTH). And Johnny V just happened to be at DEL and took the mount. He was really there to ride the 3 in the 5th (and get nailed at the wire).
This horse never picked its feet up. And, hard to believe that the barn didn't think it'd win.
