Dwyer Field pretty weak

YOu can't just forget the Gotham and Hutch and nothing is crazier than condemning a horse because he obviously is hurting.

If he is hurting then why in the heck is he racing? I don't know Pletcher but from what I have read on this forum he isnt the type of trainer to run a horse if the horse is injured. The fact that Pletcher races this horse tells me the horse is about 95-100%.

In the Gotham he got beat by Like Now. He couldnt get by a 36-1 shot. We all know that the Gotham wasnt a very good prep. Other than SNS coming back and running well in the Derby and Belmont what has any horse in the Gotham done? The Wood he got 3rd and was beaten by Bob and John (overrated) and Jazil who turned out to be a good horse.

Keyed Entry is a fine horse. Just dont think he has the talent to compete in Grade I or Grade II races. He is too slow to hang with the sprinters and does not have the stanima to hang with routers. I would still LOVE to own the horse.
