There was another AP Indy grass runner that was a heavy favorite on Thursday also for pletcher that stunk up the joint, but at least the dam side was bred for grass.

I think they forced this AP Indy to run on the grass because he showed no ability in the am on the dirt and they knew he had no shot sprinting. Grass is your only option until Belmont to go long. Friendly Michelle was a top sprinter in her day, never running on the grass. You hope the Pletcher backers keep betting on these kind of horses, they're good to play against.
