His accomplishments speak for themselves, and every year he comes back with more horses at the highest level.
Hes in the hall of fame for a reason.
Hes a credit to the sport, and to anyone who wants to try and work themselves up from nothing to something.
You, Nostradamus, I suspect very strongly are working on the exact opposite, and I have no doubts that you will succeed!
I never said he wasn't great. He was. He is a nice person too, but now he is no longer in the Pletcher league. Stats don't lie. Maybe getting married or living upstate did it, but he is not a face you see at Belmont any longer.

So his choice to have a home up here, and live here as his main residence, and train at the number one track to train a horse at, makes him not what he was? because you don't see him at Belmont? WOW!!

Well why has his stock dropped off so much? Who cares if I don't see him. Owners don't see him. He just does not have a great barn any longer. Who does he have? Other than Sun King, you never hear anyone mention his horses.

He was a no-show this past spring, and he has some expensive horses.

Expensive horses don't always mean good horses.
And "genius" he won more two year old MSW's up here in Saratoga this summer than anyone, including Pletcher.
You have never looked as foolish as you do now.
