I don't think 'fast horses with problems' are exclusive to Jerkens - you could say that with nearly anybody.

Jimmy Jerkens trained the immortal Wranger.

I cashed a damn nice bet on Wrangler at 5/1 at Saratoga when Orseno trained him in a 35K claimer .. shockingly, he only managed a 7.5 length 110 Beyer alw win when transferred to Jimmy Jerkens for the first time.

Jimmy Jerkens also had Put It Back for a couple races while his father was in poor health.

Put It Back ended his career with 5 straight wire to wire sprint wins .. all of which coming with the great Noel Wynter aboard.

well, at least with Quality Road, he already fits ok with Velazquez' style, so that going to Pletcher doesn't mean the automatic jockey downgrade to JV or Prado that it means with many horses.

It kind of sucks from a politics standpoint, but I don't see it helping or hurting Quality Road very much
