Pleasant Prince - excuses?

[AeWingnut]

I don't really know if this has been discussed. I was wondering what if any excuses were offered for Pleasant Prince's performance in the Bluegrass Stakes.

I picked Plesant Prince in the Bluegrass even though I knew this race wasn't part of the plan - he entered because he needed earning. Those works looked very fast. I could understand him flattening out but he never seemed to pick his feet up. Just sat back and never quickened.

I bet PP in the Future pools because I figured this derby could be loaded with pace and if it fell apart - The plodder Pleasant Prince could be rolling like Giacamo.

Now I don't have to worry about any of this but wondered if anyone had the skinny on future plans.
