What makes it worse is that you can't even embrace the small time people making it big because, besides Borel, these people are dreadful.

"small time" people gives hope to us like Dee Tee that the little guys in the sport can win! I find this group MUCH more worthy that last year's in the slick black suits.

I sure hope everyone doesn't buy into the media's need to trash these people just because they can. One guys father was doing the wheeling and dealing and is awaiting sentencing on bribery. But "small time" or not, it is a great story. Let's at least give them some time to enjoy this and give them a tip of the cap for a job very well done.

The trainer just seems like a jerk and makes Pletcher look like Mr. Outgoing and Spontaneous.

Interesting notice he was 4/6 on polytrack and 0/2 on dirt until today with a previous lifetime best beyer of only 81. How's that for confounding stats? How did he only go off at 50/1? You can't always count on stats, beyers, historical angles. Duh?
