Hmmm sounds little weird to me


Like someone who tears a ACL 2 yrs ago but only wears a knee brace in practice and not the game???

That's a pretty poor analogy. Is it possible Pletcher isn't telling the whole truth? Yes, but it's not particularly likely. Horses do train in bar shoes and not run in them sometimes. Horses run with bar shoes and win sometimes as well. Suggesting he has some debilitating injury ( like a torn ACL ) defies logic.

Sounds more to me like he already has his excuse however. A phony excuse....but they usually are.

I'm not concerned about it. If he looks lame in the paddock or post parade, then I'll worry... I haven't seen that thus yet. Agree that it's not a good sign, though.

You're gonna have to consult with you know who then.

I can only hope that our board expert will be on hand to let me know just how sore he is.

One can only believe that her services are so in demand this week that she won't have time to help us little folks at this time.

It's a bloody shame too. Every dollar I planned on betting is riding on her expertise. I had forgotten she teamed up with Justin Dew this week.

If he'd been training w/bar shoes for 10 months like what Pletcher said, this isn't news. It would be a completely different story if he just started wearing them. Yet another non-story by the media.

In such a contentious race, though, it seems like more of a minus than a plus. . .

But, will this news change how or how much you wager on him?
