Pletcher has his mounts set for the Derby

[slotdirt]

I am pretty certain Dunkelberger is really good friends with the state vet out of Charles Town. I swear like once per night one of his mounts is a late scratch on the "advice of the state veterinarian."

I don't blame the guy if he feels his ride is unsafe to race. I also believe that is part of his job, to alert the Vet to a horse he feels may not be "fit" to race.

Also, let's be honest, CT is a place where some "trainers" and "owners" will continue to race a horse, who should be placed on a farm somwhere, just to get some inflated slot purses.
