Pletcher is the best trainer in the country as of right now that has a large operation. The thing that I love about Pletcher is that he picks the best spots possible for his horses, rests them win they need to rest, and runs them when they are ready to run. I think Tagg and Matz are right there with him as far as horsemanship goes. I really like Bob Baffert and Nick Zito as trainers too, but they aren't even in the same league as Pletcher as of right now when it comes to producing stakes winners. Pletcher is just turning them out one after another. Also, you are kidding yourself if you think that Lukas is a better trainer than Pletcher as of right now.
By the way...
2005 BC Classic-2nd Flower Alley
2006 KY Derby-2nd Bluegrass Cat
2006 Belmont-2nd Bluegrass Cat...3rd Sunriver
I agree with Cajun...I bet Pletcher wins a big race within the next year.
