A trainer, and if you're citing Pletcher specifically, gets DOZENS of high quality horses to train toward Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup races. DOZENS AND DOZENS of the best bred and most expensive horses... So his record in TC/BC races is far more suspect in a discussion like this than a jockey who gets exactly ONE mount, maybe, in any of the available races you're talking about. You do understand that nuance?
