Going with Skipshot

20/1 on Setsuko? Wow.

Alphie's Bet isn't getting much respect either @ 8/1. He's coming off a very strong effort in the Sham, and would be no surprise.

Where's Interactif???

Bluegrass

I'm surprised Pletcher would re-direct Interactif to Keeneland, considerinbg how well he ran @ Santa Anita last time out. Especially when he already had Aikenite pointing to the Blue Grass. But i guess it does figure to be a much softer field.

Keeneland looks to be a big purse, with a small weak field so the move actually makes some sense to me. Last I heard, there were only 6-7 horses pointing toward the race and they dont measure up to Lookin at Lucky, Sidney's Candy, etc from the SA Derby. With graded earnings a big concern its prolly the smart move.

As for Aikenite, not Derby material IMO. I'll be the first to admit I loved this horse as a 2yo and still thought he'd mature and become a great 3yo. He's had his chances and just flat out isnt good enough in my eyes.

I agree regarding Aikenite, but he did run his career-best over the Keeneland polytrack last fall. Wouldn't be surprised if he runs well in the Blue Grass.
