Love him or hate him, he's certainly doing something right at the present time. His horses have earned over $27 million in purses this year. The next closest guy is at $11 million. Pletcher has a $16 million lead in the trainer standings. That is incredible. He's doing something right.

What would be your main criticism of Pletcher as compared to other trainers?
