It was merely MY opinion that with all that he is provided by his owner in the way of bloodstock, his numbers in those races that he can't control the make-up of the race, like BC races (you can also throw TC races in there) his numbers are less than stellar. Hence MY contention that he might be slightly overrated.
I am not going to argue with you -- again, it's a fallacious argument. I am also not going to argue with you because you clearly have an orientation, and slant in your opinions -- to the point where you selected the handle you selected. I think that basically shows that you can't be truly objective.

You may have used the term "overrated" -- and I am not arguing that point. The other term or label states was that Todd Pletcher "is not a very good trainer".

I am not criticizing the opinion, although I disagree with the statement that he is not a very good trainer. I am questioning whether or not it's a qualified opinion and the mindset of using one piece of data, neglecting all other facts and knowledge, to substantiate that he is "not a very good trainer". That's all.
