Straight from the horse’s mouth..but they don’t know a horse’s head from its ass...

Fenwick will be hard to outrun except the trainer believes Epicenter will easily outrun him?

As I recall, "that guy" Ed Sexton was the stable manager and he took the horse away from Nick and then made himself the trainer.

Hard to believe that one didn't work out well.

Todd Pletcher, new trainer of 2021 Champion Juvenile Corniche:

“The Amsterdam was our first and only possible target,” Pletcher said. “I didn't want to get way ahead of myself, that race isn't until July 31 so I worked my way back from there when deciding when his first breeze would be.”

Isn't picking out a race before the horse has even breezed for you and attempting to tailor its schedule to that race a perfect example of "getting ahead of yourself"?

I'm sure it's fine though; all the other plans for this horse have come to fruition.

He got a "freshening" after the BC...has yet to start since.

He was a Triple Crown contender...they are running the Belmont Stakes today.

His owners wanted to stay loyal to Baffert...he's now in Pletcher's barn.

He went to Pletcher because Baffert can't train until July 2 and the horse was supposed to return to the races in June...his first race back is now supposed to be July 31.

His race in June was supposed to be a prep for the Haskell & Travers...he's targeted a 6.5f sprint a week after the Haskell.
