Mike: Thanks for the reply. Good points about TAP's barn. I've an open mind about the whole thing -- but I also have open eyes, and the rebreaking thing isn't merely in my mind. I've been watching horses run for far too long. When a horse is being scrubbed on at the quarter pole and looks like he's finished, but somehow he keeps finding more -- well, that just looks fishy to me.. Sure, some horses need to be ridden like bicycles a long way out. Great Communicator was like that. But Pletcher has an inordinate amount of runners who demonstrate this quality: they're done, and then they're not.
