my question would be as the the low opinion i have of anything pletcher says or does. the ignorance can be seen in the thoroughbred time piece. what if he--that great trainer-- had developed flower alley as a four year old. what would the horse be worth then. it is when you have idiots like this being listened to that the sport suffers. you will soon be able to write it down. even the wealthy will shortly stop paying millions for horses that win a couple of races. that what pletcher says is even happening is a question. most of these good horse fail to go because they are hurt, by trainers like pletcher.
