Gosh do I have to spell it out, his initials. Remember the day he would take over the training of a horse, this happened once off a Mdn win, put her in a graded stk and would win silly. It happened.

Got to give credit where it's due.

Pletcher has won 2 turf races today:

Tale of a Lady at CRC off an 8 MONTH layoff

and

Il Girasole at HOL off a 15 MONTH layoff

Any way you cut it, that's good training.

Clearly the reason for these stats is that he had English Channel in his barn those years, but not this one.

Here's some interesting stats I read on another board. In terms of grade 1 wins. Pletcher had

10 in 2005
17 in 2006
17 in 2007
3 in 2008

Grade 1 wins in New York for Pletcher

7 in 2005
11 in 2006
8 in 2007
0 in 2008

Yeah, it's business as usual.

Racing needs to keep up the momentum for dope testing . You can see it's levelling the playing field, as one would expect .

Where has the playing field been leveled exactly?

I don't think Curlin or Big Brown were as effective after being removed from the steroids . Pletcher's record indicates the pressure is on him to stay clean . If racing ever gets on top of the doping it will level the playing field . Maybe that's a better way to put it .
