Yea, I guess that is just a coincidence....
I consider myself reasonably logical, and I think this post is unreasonably illogical.

They test more at the BC, and monitor stalls more at the BC, than any other horse racing event. Pletcher notched a few wins there didn't he?

I shouldn't even waste my time with this response. The Derby is a 20 horse race under ridiculously difficult circumstances. Because Pletcher hasn't won does not mean he laid-off the drugs. That's ridiculous.
