Default Pletcher - quote on Quay

Does this make any sense? I sure think it does if he wants Quay closer to the lead.

“I don't have any problem with the fact that the horse will be fit and ready to run in the Kentucky Derby. I don't believe the eight weeks will be any excuse. You know, we're just starting to fine-tune his running style a little bit. I don't want to change it; I just don't want him in a position where he's spotting the field, you know, an enormous amount of ground in the early stages. And I think by being a fresher horse, he'll lay a little closer to the pace. Wherever he's comfortable, I‘m happy with that, but I just know that the more that he ran as a two year old and judging from this year, the more he runs, the more lackadaisical he gets in the early stages."
