Miff: A while back, I asked, "Is there a reason Pletcher and Frankel are 0-fer in the Derby and a combined 6 for 90 in the Breeders Cup, despite saddling an inordinate number of short-priced steeds? Are there more barn-security/surveillance measures in place for the Derby than there are for your average Saturday race card?"
You stated that "the answer is no." Do you still believe this? Do you still believe that my observations about Pletcher horses rebreaking is just "in [my] mind"?
The reason I'm revisiting this is because of something Jerry posted today: "buried somewhere in the coverage of the Derby was a story about 24/7 surveillance of the horses. That could have been a factor."
I'm curious if his words, coupled with the dismal performances (again) of the Pletcher horses, have you wondering if the so-called "conspiracy idiots" might be onto something.
