Pletcher to have no horses in the Travers

[Thoroughbred Fan]

This whole thread is from the Trivial Pursuit "Who Gives A ****" Edition. Todd Pletcher isn't even a very good trainer. He just gets most of the top bloodstock.

Now, the real question is, with 35,000 foals per year, why can't we find enough decent ones to fill these classic races?

Answer, breeders have bred out almost all of the stamina and durability for Thoroughbreds.

The thread should ask why are there only ever five good horses per generation.
