Pletcher leaves the discussion once Life At Ten hits the track. He doesn't even watch the warm-up or post parade - after he saddles the horse he goes to some room to watch the race.




Life At Ten is classy speed horse - she ran her opening quarter mile in 28.84 seconds - I haven't made my pace figures yet ... but she didn't run fast enough to have a heart attack.

The slowest horse on the backside of Penn National would have been in front of her.

I have to disagree with you. A GOOD trainer would be concerned if his horse wasn't acting normally and WOULD watch her warm up in the post parade.
