The more I think about it, Pletcher has probably won more like 30-40 stakes races this year with older horses. Just off the top of my head, thinking about Pletcher horses that ran the last couple of weekends, Go Deputy(6year old) comes to mind. He's won 3 races this year, two of which were graded stakes races. Pletcher had a 4 year old filly this past weekend at Belmont named Ever Elusive. She's won 2 allowance races and a stakes race this year.
