Guy’s,

No doubt he has changed his program and it started last year as 🐝 mentioned with his 2 big guns. TAP runners are no secret what so ever, every clocker’s eyes are glued to them on top of that Angel Cordero Johnny V’s agent, still gets on few in the AM to gallop has all his gambling buddies on speed dial.

Last year 2 days before opening day I was in his barn with a friend that is/has been involved with quite a few high profile horses with him for awhile. From Todd’s mouth Mojovation was his best 2 yr old that was race ready going in week 2 and Honey Glow & Machismo we’re both good and out opening weekend. I believe one of them won at a very short price and the other 2 got beat at odds on, only 1 of the 3 did not break well and thought nothing of it at the time. There was no mention of any of his other babies that were relevant in the Derby preps, nor did they run at The Spa.

This year almost all of his bad breakers had only one gate work. One of the 2 baby winners this year had 2 gate works. (not looking any of this up) Not only have they broke bad bad hardly a one has run a step after?

Obviously a hot topic in the backyard and at Sunday’s seminar with TG Jeff who had some good points about bad breakers being sore in their hind quarters. Before the meet started every single trainer was complaining about how deep and tiring the main track was, all the babies that worked over it came back gassed and beat up. I felt like an idiot telling TGJB that on opening day and day 2 May have been the fastest raw times of the meet! Obviously they took a little off the top🤫

Todd & JJ Pletcher pick out a pretty good number of their yearlings for Todd’s owners. They didn’t lose their eye for horse flesh over night, JJ didn’t forget how to get the babies race ready and Todd didn’t forget how to train. One of my buddies left You’re to Blame out the pick 4 yesterday simply because he was sick of seeing B+ clocker reports on TAP’s that can’t break or run a step.....

Maybe it’s a simple as the white Mercedes hasn’t been seen at Oklahoma this year 😎
