Just as with his hockey team The Senators if you do not win he is not shy making changes.
Wonder if Pletcher's business management team insisting on getting paid by owners affected that scenario...?

And Melnyk is just one owner... Another behind the scenes element to this could have to do with the falling out of sharp bloodstock man Ed Rosen with long time client Jim Scatourchio.. I believe these 'Scatman' 3yo's are the first set of non-Rosen tabbed runners.

One more thing.. I know some owners insisted on Pletcher bringing horses out west to suppprt the Cal synthetic movement (read: WinStar)... That could also be having a negative impact on the development curve(s) for Pletcher's young horses as his team learns their way around the surface.
