Of the guys I mention in my prior post, I can honestly say that the only one whom I may be completely off base with is PLETCHER.

My suspicions with him have more to do with some of the horses in his barn mysteriously dying last year than the dramatic performance rating improvements that occur with the rest of my list.

As cynical as i can be, I actually thought that LADY TAK'S race was legit. I think 7f is her optimum distance and SARATOGA tends to yield some unbelievable performances within the stakes ranks going that distance.

Anyway, I think I've pounded this topic enough. Good luck with the FG race.
