Believe me, I am no fan of Todd Pletcher. However, to make a case that he isn't a good trainer is nonsense. If the guy came out of nowhere, didn't pay his dues, got lucky, picked up some strong backing from a client or maybe two, didn't have the background or credentials -- well, that would be one thing.

This is not the case here. And, everyone who has been around this game for a long time knows this as well. Like him or not, good for the business or not, and so on.

I could name at least ten trainers I think would do a better job with the same horses.
