Do I think its a "feel good" story? No, its most definitely not. Todd doesnt need another good horse, very true.
But all you bleeding hearts really miss the point. The guy who overpaid(seemingly, at least for now) is stuck his nuts on the deal. So he wanted to try and get out from under by switching to the leading trainer in America.
Is this really such a horrible thing?
How can you feel sorrier for a guy who made a pocketful of money on the horse(Holthus) then the guy whose out a brinks truck on him.
I don't see Pletcher as a factor in this story at all, and he certainly doesn't need to be defended here by me or anyone else.

No need to get so defensive. I understand your point and I understand that its a business, I understand that he made a lot of money with the horse, I understand that Pletcher is the leading trainer in the country.
The fact that the guy has bought questionable stallion prospect for way more than market value actually makes no difference. The whole point that I am trying to bring up is that when the same few barns get all the good babies and take the established stars too, it makes for an unhealthy sport.
