Saturday's Results

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I know the majority of Pletcher horses really look like they are missing that added something - but super trainer Steve Asmussen is putting on a dazzling statistical exhibition at Presque Isle Downs.

He's 4-for-73 at the meet - and his record with post time favorites is a remarkable 1-for-30!

In fact, if you take out Catonight (an Asmussen 10K claimer who's 2-for-2 at the meet) - his record is 2-for-71 overall and 0-for-29 with post time favorites.

And it's not like his favorites have been lukewarm ones in wide open claiming races - they've mostly been overwhelming favorites.

I was even thinking of doing a piece about this - but, when you see the takeout rates and how the horse players are being treated here - it's hard to write about something as fluffy and flowery positive as a proven cheater coming off of a six month suspension and burning up enough money to fill the Grand Canyon.
