These races are damn hard to win, doesnt matter who you are.
I know he has 2, but I dont really feel he is happy with that number based on the number of starters he has had. Madella won more in one day than Pletcher has in his life. In addition, he hasnt won the Classic. I think it is awesome that he has two, but I think that Pletcher is disappointed in that number.

Sorry, but money or no money, Pletcher had a "Bobby Frankel type" day. You can't go 0-17, have one of your horses be hurt and think that is a good day.

Pletcher can't win on the big days, it is that simple.

The guy is 0-51 in triple crown races and something like 2 for 40 in the Breeders Cup.

That is a total of 2 wins in something like 91 starts on the two big days.
