Barry,
A couple of things. I for one do not believe Pletcher is juicing anymore. He has the best people and the best horses. He also gives his horses considerable time between races which is conducive to large tops. We saw some of all of the above work together on Saturday with Lawyer Ron.
Also very interesting what you said about the impact of Polytrack on SmellMar. (As in the racing stinks). There are people who have invested heavily in dirt pedigree horses because they are generally the races with most money and prestige. Only to find their investment is being washed away. This is because they are competing on a circuit where only turf horses seem to win. See In Summation in the Crosby.
There has not been anywhere near enough testing on the Polytrack surface. Players, Trainers and Owners are being blown out the game because of a poorly planned integration program.
