I dunno. Ward's specialty is getting extremely cheap, presumably crooked yearlings as cranked up as possible as early as possible. Like Doug said, Klarman/Lawrence pay big for poorly bred 2yo sale speedsters.
I've said it before - I don't understand how a guy like Klarman who's a brilliant investor doesn't see something wrong with his program and try to switch it up a bit. I guess spreading horses out to other trainers has helped marginally, but it still hasn't been enough.
Also, back to the topic of the thread, I don't understand why any owner besides the big guys would send a horse to Pletcher. There are so many comparable trainers out there who can give your horse closer attention and not have to worry about ducking seven of his other trainees for any race.
