Pletcher's post-training career
 

...will be as a TV host. He's doing well, good insight, opinion... not bad!

Most I have heard him ever talk.. Seemed pretty relaxed. Nice change of pace.

one real good aspect of ESPN's coverage is having Pletcher and Baffert taking turns in the booth and giving them time to answer several questions, more in depth than the usual coverage.

I think they are doing a good job today, we will see how things progress....

Yeah I was actually thinking this was kinda fun, having Pletcher talk more than 5 words in a row. He did it pretty well. If he doesn't get a horse in the Derby for instance or some other big race, maybe they can borrow him for a few minutes. Now you knew for sure when Chris McCarron took a stab at it he wasn't gonna get the call to stick around and definitely didn't. Jerry clearly had the polish to do it "Piazza di Spag-na" aside.

Yeah, Chris always seemed to have a bit of a "twitch" about him..

what did every one think of mayne mentioning to baffert that he coulda won 5 million, and baffert replying with 'you're a prick'?

that was funny!

Always loved Bafferts humor...

i laughed. the first time i saw it, i thought no effing way he said that. so i rewound, and sure enough....

shame they don't have mayne for all the big days-i like his wit.

He would have to take a major cut in pay.

yeah, somehow i don't see pletcher weighing his options.

If his horses don't run better than today, it may be sooner than later.

Did Ready's Image leave the gate??

I have talked to Todd more than a little about racing in general and he is very smart and knowledgable. I'm sorry I missed him on ESPN.

he, zito and mott were all excellent.

I think they've been listening to ATR and trying to copy Steve's success. I found it the best part of the coverage.

Sorry I missed the "prick" comment though!

Except for the really obvious errors the dark haired guy kept making all day long.

He's a joke - that's why they only let him out for friday night boxing and horse racing.
