Why not throw all three in there? Makes no sense. He is going to train the horse up to the BCC? I understand with Invasor because he has a fever, but this horse should have run here just as a prep. He could have picked up nearly $200K for finishing second and it would have been a great prep.

Maybe you could enlighten Nick as to how he should be doing things. I'm sure he'd appreciate the input.

How any guy can make as much money as he has with a horse like Andromeda's Hero says a lot to me. Zito is very smart with placing his horses. How many other trainers still have a horse running that ran in the BC Juvie two years ago? Yeah, that Zito...what a moron!

No. Pletcher is smart at placing his horses. Zito has no excuse for not running the horse this weekend. It sounds like he is trying to get his other two some grade 1 top 3 finishes. That is ok for them, but it leaves Sun King a race short for the BCC.

Pletcher also seems to go through his horses a lot quicker than Zito too. See dalakani's post above, the horse has a pattern.
