People really don't get why the connections aren't looked at positively? Really? I like the horse just fine, but his connections aren't easy to root for.

No one said Repole is perfect, but if the biggest negative you can say about him is that he let Pletcher be a ***** with his horse, well, there are worse things.

So people don't like Repole because of Pletcher? That's a stretch. Repole is one of the better things to come along in the sport in quite awhile. People who don't like him are hating for hate's sake as far as I'm concerned.

Envy (also called invidiousness) is best defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it."[1]

Envy can also derive from a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person's self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been he or she who had the desired object.[2][3]

You've got to be kidding.

Interesting. If you dislike someone who comes off as a pompous douche, you're envious of them. Anyone catch the comments he made in regards to Zito and the Florida Derby? Douchebag move.

And maybe I missed something, but the trainer is still Pletcher. Did he become beloved all of the sudden and I missed it? Wasn't there a thread just last week (after his horses ran like energizer bunnies at Gulfstream all weekend) about him?
