Pletcher's day rate must be too high. They've obviously taken a sufficient bath on the Valiant Passion purchase and need to cut corners somewhere. Graham Motion is currently 2 for his last 50 with graded stakes horses on dirt, good for a $0.96 ROI. This should be fun.

What Gene Melnyk giveth, Barry Irwin taketh away.

It's probably nothing comapred to the bath that they took on Toboggan Slide and Carraige Trade.

That includes Bullsbay paying $30+ in the Whitney, if your stats are correct...( I trust they are.)

Yep, the two winners were Bullsbay twice in the Whitney and Alysheba.

BTW, when was the last time Team Valor had a dirt horse?
The Pletcher LA bred that won the Woody Stephens or something like 4 years ago is the only one I know.
