I agree to a point and my saying I think they are over rated is by no means an attempt to say the record isn't impressive. Pletcher imo has achieved the results he's achieved simply by being a master salesman, great organizer, and a protege of one of the most famous trainers in history. This has allowed him to maintain a stable that spreads all over the country and basically manhandles the big races on sheer volume. But to his credit, he is doing it and nobody else is......
