I can imagine Pletcher wondering during/after the race what he did to deserve not being able to 'step' these horses up, like he once did.

Can you give me some examples of these stretched out sprinters on dirt that Pletcher use to win with back in the good old days? I use to bet against those types of his all of the time (with the exception of value plus which i will wear for eternity). Looking back, I dont remember many big races at all Pletcher would win stretching out.
edit- I looked it up on his website and it looks like only left bank could be considered a horse stretching out on dirt for Pletcher that ran big. Can you think of other horses that I am missing?
