Pletcher will get his, no doubt, but you can't say the man isn't an incredible trainer because he hasn't won a classic.

With all duer respect ...
... the guy has trained nearly a thousand of the best-bred colts in the world ... and has yet to develop even one into a champion at classic distances.
He's the King Of The MSW Sprints ... and does very well with fillies ... but he hasn't developed a colt into a champion ... and ... until he does ... he doesn't deserve to be compared with any of the really good trainers.
I can't say he isn't an incredible trainer? Yes ... I can ...
