Clearly you and I disagree on how many people like Dunkirk based on him being trained by Todd Pletcher. I mean, who wouldn't be drawn to a horse trained by a guy who's 0-20 in the Derby and has a 3 year dead ass last streak going? I think he has a chance but I couldn't possibly care less who trains him.
I think if Dunkirk was trained by a mid-range Florida horseman, like Ice is a mid-range midwest horseman, he would be getting plenty of support because he has done enough on the track to garner support.
