I think hes only 30 or 31. Imagine being 31 and having been Pletchers head assistant already for over two years? Geez, think hes got a head start in the game?

Don't know who he is but people skills are a huge thing in getting new owners. Pletcher and his mentor Lukas have great people skills. Pletcher also has his dad so he has a little leg up on everyone. I think George Weaver might have worked for Pletcher too. Maybe, and he seems pretty young.

Seth took over for Weaver as asst when Weaver left. Seth is one hell of a nice guy, he will do just fine when he ever goes on his own. But i can't see him leaving for a long time. Hes so young and seems to be sucking in all that he can learn from Todd and being around such nice horses. Trust me, some day Seth is gonna be to Todd what Todd is to Wayne.

No way does Pletcher win more than 10TC races. It is so hard to win one. I know Pletcher is only 38, but he will not continue to get the stock that he gets. He will get more and more competition from younger trainers as the years go bye. Plus he still will compete with Baffert, Zito, Romans and Asmussen.

NO NO that wasnt my point to shoot down Timmy. My point is that the guy was asked a question, he didnt get on a soapbox and start preaching. Gander would be right if Todd had just decided to start preaching. But he didn't. The guy was asked a question, and gave a good answer. I don't know why everyone can't see that, not just Tim.

Oracle is a bully. We all know that. If you cant see it then go see your eye doctor or call 1-800-Contact.

speaking of eye doctors, i should wear my glasses while wagering...... nothing worse than confusing the 7 with the 1 or the 3 with the 9. you have a tri 6/4/7 that you think hit......when you see the replay its 6/4/1 fuuuuckkk

I think Todd gives the best interview as anyone when it comes to horse racing. He is intelligent and answers the question without bashing anyone or touting his own talent. Todd is a good man and a good trainer. I just disagree with him when it comes to an incentive to race in the TC.

Euro thats fine, and phrased like that i respect the comment. I actually don't really disagree. I just think that Tood gave an honest opinion when asked a question and doesnt deserve grief for it.
Noone does the sport prouder than Todd. Hes always meticulous in his appearance and his speech. If we had more guys like Todd in the game we would all be better off. I think hes getting a bum rap. If that makes me a bully then so be it.
