Me too, but I do think Pletcher's organizational skills are pretty exceptional. I'm an organization freak. :)

i like to be organized as well. hate clutter! pletcher is good at what he does, and i think he is skilled-but i'd rather have a more 'hands on' trainer. no way he could be hands on, other than when it comes to saddling his biggest stars.

Again, I don't think I ever said that either.

You guys are right. I made a mistake. The post was meant for Danzig but I actually clicked on your post by mistake.

And anyone that thinks Wayne is absolutely heartless when it comes to his horses, needs to have the man tell you the story of Landaluce. He was cradling her head when she died. His eyes didn't look very dry while he told me that story.

Oh, and his face lights up just the same when you ask him about some of the champions he trained.

And at the same time if he hadnt sent her out to the track to train with a fever perhaps he may not have had to hold her head while she died.

Pletcher spots his horses well. He's very sharp at handicapping the field.

Turned her around? Yes, I'll never forget the brilliant job he did finding a spot in which she was defeated by a MONSTER like Mayo On The Side.:D
