4 in a row for Pletcher both baby races

You mean like at oaklawn where he won the Apple Blossom? Or californai where he won the American oaks? Or Kentucky where he won the Woodford reserve and Ky oaks? You mean like that?

No I mean like 0 for 51 or whatever it is in the Classic races. You can cry about luck in the derby but that excuse doesn't cut it in the Preakness and Belmont. 0 for 51 is tough to do. Real tough. What does Baffert have 8 Classic wins and he didn't even have JJ to help him get into the business. Lukas did it all on his own too from being a teacher. Pletcher might get there one day but he is a long long long way from the big guys.
