Nick's explanation still doesn't do it for me, and yeah, while Pyro and El Padrino do have different circumstances, my assertation that they are similar in style and lack of speed, and an abundance of hype, it still stands.

If Pletcher had a cute son, hot wife and said El Padrino didn't like GP, all would be fine. Oh, and if El Padrino was also by Indian Charlie.

I don't find boys cute, I have no idea if his wife is hot or not, but you might be onto something with that third point!

That being said, if the sire was IC, than El Padrino would obviously be a much better racehorse.

This would all be a mute point.
