Pletchers Demise

he's earned $17 mill this year, the next closest trainer is Scott Blasi, err, Steve Asmussen (with $7 mill)...all I was trying to say was he can make as much money as he wants in this sport, and basically his "demise" will be when he wants to stop doing this full-throttle, whenever that time may be

See this is how I feel too. I think burn out is what is going to get Todd. Lukas got crushed when his assistance left, Baffert had a slight decline once he got married. I think Pletcher is prob the best trainer in the history of the game. I think he will be his own demise.

Best trainer in the history of the game? Come on...do you think you might be getting a little carried away?

No trainer has gotten the stock over the last couple of years that Pletcher has. Its not even close.

Pletcher is a good trainer and his horses look great. He runs a first class operation. I would have a hard time saying that a trainer is "the best in the history of the game" when he hasnt won a classic.

He has won more races without Johnny V than with him I think their on a skid together
