Of course Pletcher has had much more success here than the Sheikh has. But not when it comes to the Derby.

Really? Has the Sheik hit the board in the KY Derby?
The point isn't that he's failed, it's that he has failed miserably, year after year. A huge percentage of the horses he sends to Dubai to prep for American races don't show up until Saratoga, at the earliest. He's not even coming close.
But, you now suggest it's a combination of both, but this belies your initial post in this thread, as do some of your other remarks....

So, can you please clarify it all for me now, and tell me which posts represent your true opinion on this. They can't all do that.
