Sorry to offend anyone. I just recalled that he was sent down for days and assumed that it had to do with something that wasn't totally kosher. Yes, he is a high percentage trainer and yes he has won Breeder Cup races, the numbers are the numbers.
This just brings up the fact that until we have uniform testing at all tracks many of these so called "high percentage" trainers will be coming under suspecion.
Is it fair to lump Dutrow, Frankel, Pletcher with Jennifer Pederson and Scott Lake. I don't know. Maybe they are all clean and maybe some of them are not....
I guess one would suspect that Pletcher should be a high percentage trainer with the best stock in the business and as Oracle 80 states he is just better than others.
I just want a level playing field for all participants and the only way to do this is to somehow have uniform testing ... still, there will be those who will try to get around the system.
Enough venting.
I hope Dutrow and Pletcher are clean as i hope everyone is. But i am not totally nieve either.
