Unscientific Study (1013 Views)

Just quickly perused the following link of 2006 Triple Crown Nominees. What became apparent in considering purchases is that there is a "Big 3" in American Trainers, at least for those sales purchases nominated to the Triple Crown in 2006.

Without a doubt the leader in dollars spent and number of horses nominated was Toddini Pletcher.

Bob Baffert followed in second, mainly due to the fact that an 8 million dollar Storm Cat purchase "Mr. Sekeguchi" was in his column. But for that horse, the 2nd place leader in the sales may have been, drum roll please...

D Wayne Lukas

Additionally, Mr Lukas had a large number of nominations of nice pedigree Overbrook Farm stock homebreds. Lukas clearly had gotten the least out of his runners of the three.

Baffert certainly was a loser in the money spent vs. earnings returned, however he was far better than either Pletcher or Lukas.

Zito appeared to trail these 3 in sales dollars spent considerably.

I have no data, this was an eyeball study.
