CtC:

I have as much patience for your posts as anyone, but on this particular topic
it is time for you to "put up or shut up".

You say "ASSUME for the sake of argument that (Pletcher) did take on Steve
Allday (in 2000)..." Why should we ASSUME this? Because it makes your theory
more viable? The information is out there. As the architect of the "Pletcher
was just another trainer until he hooked up with Allday" theory, you owe it to
yourself and the rest of us to determine EXACTLY WHEN ALLDAY BEGAN TREATING
PLETCHER'S HORSES.

You establish 2000 as a line of demarcation in Pletcher's emergence as a top
trainer. Can we ASSUME that TAP had much better racing stock to work with after
2000 than before 2000? The people who are buying the high priced bloodstock you
mention could give these runners to any trainer-- from known doper Patrick
Biancone to the hay oats and water guys like Mott or Nafzger (or even the very
blonde but very inept Jamie Sanders). Is there any better proof of the
superiority of the bloodstock which TAP has access to than the fact that he was
able to win the 2007 Belmont with a filly who was a half sibling to the 2006
Belmont Stakes winner, and was sired by the 1992 Belmont Stakes winner?

In relation to the death of Left Bank, we do not have to ASSUME here. Simply
using any popular search engine you can see that Left Bank fell victim to colic;
if you go past the first or second articles, you will see that Left Bank was a
colic prone animal(he had a serious bout of colic as a 2YO which resulted in
the removal of a portion of his intestine).

Your post dissolves into sheer hysteria at the end, where you say "Write NYRA
and the boards of the racing states, inform them of the facts and demand
greater scrutiny of cheaters in general and Pletcher in particular"

As Alex Rodriquez once famously said while rounding the bases in a game against
the Blue Jays, HA!. What is NYRA going to do against Pletcher (one marginal
positive in 11 years while saddling a high volume of runners) when they allow
known cheater Patrick Biancone (excluded from participation in racing on two
continents, currently under investigation in Kentucky) to continue to ply his
trade?

The truth is out there CTC. The inclusion of the truth in your posts,especially
when it replaces mere conjecture, would strengthen your arguments.
