Yeah - this stuff happens every winter ... and sometimes during the first two weeks or so of the Saratoga meet leading into the yearling sale.

For the rest of the year - Pletcher's ROI is typically in the toilet bowl ... and guys like Marty Wolfson can take some of his worst performing stock and transform them into real horses.

Pletcher has all the big edges over anyone else in terms of stock ... there are at least a few guys out there who would achieve even more than him if they were able to get his stock year in and year out. That's beyond obvious - and even smart people seem blind to it.

I can't wait to see how Life At Ten runs.

He's no different than Wal-Mart. Moves into a town, usually gets an advantage (tax breaks), defeats the local grocer with strength in numbers which in turn forces the locals to shop there, then raises the prices and has the city, state, and federal government in the palm of their hands.

And to top it off they have the camera presence of a mute with aspergers.

I disagree.
Mom and Pop shops are way more expensive than Wal-mart. The reason they go out of buisness is that they cant compete with Wal Mart to make thier prices competitive. Yes, you get better attention at mom and pop shops but I really dont want to sit and talk with the shop owner about the weather all day.

It's like watching an animal getting confused by its reflection.
