Pletcher earns 2.16 mill on BC Day

I wonder how he really feels about not being able to do better in those races.

You mean like with Speightstown and Ashado? How many guys alive posess two BC wins or more? maybe 10-15? In case you didn't realize it hes only 38. Lukas, Zito, and Baffert were all approaching 50 or in their 50's when they got their first classic win. Frankel has 4 wins in the Bc in its history out of many starters. These races are damn hard to win, doesnt matter who you are.
