I am curious if Winstar had Pletcher run any good horses at Gulfstream? Maybe they know the GP antics and they want no part of that? Was Gulfstream the meet where the Ramseys had horses run out of their skin for several different trainers? I seem to recall, but could be mistaken, about a suggestion that the Ramseys were seeking GP title using something that was evidenced by the performances of their runners regardless of which trainer. Does anybody remember what I am recalling? Is Gulfstream uniquely tolerant about certain substances? It is truly remarkable in this day and age that you need to factor into your handicapping the type of testing a track does or does not do.
