Flushed, share your sentiments on where and when Pletcher seems to fair well lately.

Also tend to agree that Bluegrass Cat was not Handicap Horse material. He was precocious and was flattered in the Triple Crown series by circumstances. Have already voiced my opinion of his Career Score in the Haskell.

However, if snakebit Super Frolic can ever get a ride and a break he can compete with the horses out there. Unfortunately he just hasn't caught much of a break. Heads up with equal luck he would have easily disposed of Bluegrass Cat and I think on his A Cycle he'll outfinish Bernardini.

I said it first.
