Miff,
Rags to Riches laid over that field. Pletcher was not very good Friday or Saturday. I am willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but this is getting ridiculous. He starts out every year with 70-80 of the best 2 year olds in the country and gets five to the Derby. I feel that there are a number of knowledgable people who post here and many of them treat Pletcher as an automatic throw out in big races. How is this possible? When it is over none of them "handled" the track.
As far as "spotting" horses, Pletcher has won the training title at the most competetive meet in the world six out of the last seven years. This has nothing to do with "spotting" horses. He has to take his horses alkl over the country beacause he has so many stakes class horses and does not want to run his ownwers against each other, if possible.
