This was discussed somewhat yesterday. Obviously the TAP program isn't flush right now and is not getting results like its used to... Variety of reasons suggested as was brought out elsewhere yesterday...
There are plenty of examples of Pletcher taking moderately priced young horses and getting a lot out of them. Purge cost $180k and he turned him into a pretty successful horse winning the Peter Pan, Jim Dandy and Cigar Mile. Flower Alley was a $50,000 weanling and $165,000 yearling and won the Travers, Lane's End and Jim Dandy and was 2nd in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Both have sire careers... I'm sure DrugS can add to the list.. What sales toppers did Pletcher 'ruin' IYO exactly? (And the ridiculous Green Monkey is hardly an example before he gets brought up...)

Im sure your right about sales toppers. He dosent train for Godolphin or Darley. He does get his share of the elite tho.How much input does he have on his clients purchases? His training practices are often refered as modern and a business as much as a training operation.Success of a bussiness is .bottom line profit. I am just wondering if anyone has gleaned the stats on amount his clients have invested and there return. He leads with purse money most every year. I realize the residual and bigger money is in the breeding shed. How much of his purse earning are purchased?
