KY Racing

[Cannon Shell]

euro,
You can make a case that Pletcher is not based in KY but in having 36 horses based at Chuchill he has more horses than 99% of KY trainers.

You can not compare the breeding programs in NY and KY, apples and oranges.

Purses in KY 6 months are great, 6 months not so great but things are moving in the right direction. KEEP is the best horseracing
group out there, Polytrack will save Turfway, Keeneland remains strong, Churchill is focusing more on Churchill which is good plus purses there continue to rise, the new breeders rewards program is good for smaller breeders, and Slots are looming with the upcoming 2007 elimination of Mr. Fletcher. Not perfect but in the long run probably the best bet for successful racing/breeding programs.
