I agree with this. Guys like Frankel and Pletcher and the Dubai people......they need to pay their dues first then maybe it will be their time. McLaughlin is due now.

Huh? Pletcher needs to "pay his dues" but McLaughlin is due now? They've been on their own about the same time and Todd has certainly achieved more with three year olds. As for Frankel, he's been training for about 40 years, give or take and he's still got to "pay his dues" also?
Also, not sure about this year but in the long run KMclaughlin's best shot may be with a Darley horse anyhow.

Mclaughlin's biggest client is the dubai folk either it be shadwell, darley but he does have horses for westpoint as well. Mr. Fantasy from westpoint looks to have a shot in the derby trail and become a contender for the derby.

Matter of fact, all three of Mclaughlin's "derby" horses are undefeated.

This might be the most outrageous statement I've ever read on this board, any horse racing board, and the web all together.

I'm sorry that sarcasm doesn't translate well.

Interesting prop... Frankel doesn't get enough 3-year-olds, McLaughlin doesn't get the better ones (Dubai) so I would say Pletcher wins it first out them, but not by a wide margin.

He might but it will be mitigated (in your eyes, as per your post) by the being for a horse owned by "Dubai Interests" like Darley, Shadwell or others.

I have an idea for myself. Not much...

People should worship the "he is due" method.
They should perpetuate this method as a
very critical angle.

Baffert got tired of winning them so he
is giving the ones that are due a chance.
So throw out his Egyptian horse.
