Pletcher has horses for almost every big outfit in the game. Melynk is on the lam from the SEC and it is not like his horses are winning everything in sight. I hardly think the loss of one owner from a operation of that size can matter so much. He was quoted last year as saying that this would be a down year as he retired a lot of top runners and the replacements didnt look nearly as good. Seems like he was right.
