Honey Rider: cost 70k made $ 2,784,160
Thats at least $2.5mil to the good with her. (after training bill, shipping, etc.)

Panty Raid: cost 275k made $ 1,052,380
Around $750k to the good with her.

Dont get me wrong, I would do the same thing if I was in his coveted spot. Just don't know if I would refer to myself as a blue-collar.

Remember trainer and jockey get 10% of the purse (or 20% combined)

So take another $767,308 (for both horses) out of what the owner got.

Still made around 2.5 mil with them.

Subtract expenses with Pletcher to the tune of over $150/day each and cost of shipping these mares all over the place, plus vet and shoeing expenses and that nibbles away at big profits. I'm not saying they made nothing but expenses involved in maintaining a race horse at that level are very high.

Compared to regular people he may not be blue collar but compared to people who buy $2 million dollar mares they are very blue clooar. They arent standing AP Indy over there.
