Pletcher to have no horses in the Travers

[Danzig]

it used to be that the horses who showed they were the best on the track were the top draws in the breeding shed. that is now distorted by running a horse sparingly so that he can't do much to tarnish his image, while at the same time keeping many in the dark about how hardy of a horse he could be--or not be...
you have ghostzapper, who showed that most don't care how unsound or lightly raced a horse is, they are still willing to shell out tremendous money to breed to a horse made of glass, because once every other blue moon he accomplished something--and there's money to be made.

these horses, rushed to the shed before they can really PROVE their worth, their true value, are nothing more than illusions, and aren't what a breeds future should be built upon.
but money sure does talk, doesn't it?
