Todd will continue to dominate them, especially with trainers who dont even know how fit their own horses are for grade two races. Todd sure doesnt screw up like that.

Thats comparing apples and oranges....Darley doesn't have as many head as Plecther does at the Spa, either.....Plus, they are focused on all big racing all around the world while Pletcher is narrowly focused on Saratoga.....its all relative...

everybody knew that Todd would win his share so that was ahrdly stepping out to make that comment....it would more surprising to see him NOT win his share of graded stakes - lets face it......Todd WILL win the trainiing title and Johnny V will win the riding title and that is a fact....

Now, from a quality perspective - I'll take the Sheiks roster of the follwoing horses over anyone else including Pletcher:

Bernardini, Henny Hughes, Discreet Cat, Invasor, Jazil, Songster, Balletto, and the list goes on and on.....plus, they are just now unveiling all of the expensive babies at the Spa and I GUARANTEE that there will be some Breeders' Cup 2YOs emerge from them....just watch....

Also Oracle, I still believe Scat Dadd would eat Circular Quay's lunch....wanna wager on that too?
