"This morning's incident is the perfect opportunity for Churchill Downs to realize they need to do this," Pletcher said. "Just for 10 minutes after the break. It would be a great idea. It would be great for the Oaks and Derby horses and safer for the horses of every caliber."
How does this make this proposal make things safer for the non-Derby horses? In reality, there's a reason why it's crowded after the renovation break at any track: trainers of horses of even a lower caliber prefer a freshly harrowed track to work over. Pletcher just wants yet more advantages for his expensive stock.
