I wonder how Storm Play is doing after they threw him to the wolves in the Cigar. . .

Storm Play has been with Pletcher for quite some time. He had cleared the N1X condition, won an overnight stake and last year's Cigar Mile, while deep and competitive, hardly featured a horse you should really be scared of. I didn't like Storm Play that day but I doubt you can blame JJ for trying him there.

What are your other examples of fast horses Jerkens has trained that have had problems?
