now to my question that no one here has answered , do you think todd wanted to run every one of those starters in the derby? do you think he had a choice on each horse ?

i don't think he wanted to run certain horses in those big races , thus in my opinion i think it's unjust and unfair for people here to bash his record to the extent that they do because they don't know what the owners wanted to do
I agree that a couple of those Pletcher horses were only there becuase the owners wanted them there and you would think Todd probably thought that they were in over there heads. But that being said, they did need to have the earnings to get there so they did earn their way into the gates.
But the arguement you make isn't about Pletcher, it's about Dominguez.

ramon deserves more time , i will give you that

and what is the % of pletcher starters that start in the bc or tc races vs his total starters what is it ?? u still haven't put the % up

do you think it's fair for him to get bashed not only on here but in the media on what i will say is proably less than 5 % of his total starters , isn't that cherry picking as well?

who was going to beat smarty jones, who was going ot beat barbaro , was it todd's fault that the jocks gave street sense a perfect rail trip for borel to take for the best horse in the race , this arguemnt can go on and on

if you want to continue send me a PM , i'm done on this topic

ramon is a very good jockey , i'll leave it at that
