>Doping issues aside, Pletcher has done a good job getting this horse to settle down, he used to be rank in a lot of races..When he settles down and rates kindly, the performance can be monstrous as evidenced by Saturday..<
That's the point that Barry is making.
Last year everyone was saying that the horse's rankness was hurting him. Now that it seems to have been corrected, instead of the assumption being that he both developed from 3 to 4 and is now maximizing his talent, the assumption is that he's drugged.
