![]() I'm not blind to the fact that Horse racing has a drug problem but it seems like whenever anyone experiences success in this business the endless speculation begins. Pletcher has his choice of the best horse stock in the world year after year. His horses obviously get fed the best, trained the best and live under the best conditions. Why not give the guy his due instead of implying he's a cheater? To me, he's a great trainer. Until there's concrete evidence to suggest otherwise that's the only conclusion you can come to. Too many people subscribe to "The Magic Needle Theory" whenever a trainer has a good amount of success.

Why do people suspect that Sammy Sosa took steroids? I haven't seen any proof that Sammy Sosa took steroids. Why not give Sammy his due? I'm not saying that Plethcer is cheating and I'm not saying that Sosa was a cheater. However, I can definitely see why people would think that they may cheat.

Too many trainers make excuses to their owners and other people when they can't rack up wins the way some of their top competition does. A good portion of these trainers need to look in the mirror and figure out what they can do to become better at their craft. Todd Pletcher has had too many assistants and trainers who currently work for him or who have moved on to be able to keep some sort of dark secret about his success. Secrets aren't well kept on the backstretch so I'm sure something would have come out by now if he was using something others weren't. Even his assistants who moved on aren't having nearly the success he is. I am not niave enough to suggest that he is an angel. I am only suggesting that he's playing within the same set of criteria that all others are using. |
