i'm sick of pletcher, sick of baffert. it's ridiculous.
Baffert is no saint. I'm a fan clearly, but I know he does some wrong. As far as entering horses to block other horses I think we are on the right path to stoping that with the new point system. You have to route and route successfully to be eligible I think that's a good step in the right direction. Having horses like Trinniberg ruin a potential triple crown winner does nothing good for racing.
