Default Pletcher - O'Brien - Fabre

Ok now, lets hear some opinions. This should be fun since we are adding an European mix.

Considering all things equal which would you rather have 1) Todd Pletcher 2) Adian O'Brian 3) Andre Fabre.

Now remember - ALL THINGS ARE EQUAL. Give your choice and why.

Thats a bad choice becauseits obvious that American racing is so different.
Obviously I want Todd in America. In Europe I want Fabre.

I see, but you are missing one point--ALL THINGS ARE EQUAL. No American racing vs European racing, no grass vs dirt. If all things were equal, who would you pick?

if all things were equal I would just want to own a horse that any one of them would want to train!

Im not missing the point, you are.
You have to stipulate that. How teh hell can you compare trainers without surface or where? Its impossible to do even theoretically with any intelligence.
Its apples and oranges.

I'll take Andre Fabre.

The other two don't even belong on a ballot with him.

On this, I agree. Of course, since I've accomplished nothing in this game, my opinion is worthless.

Thats apples and oranges.

the horses in europe don't even look the same, their body structure is diffrent so the training methods would fail if they trained them the same way when they crossed the pond
