I got the info I wanted, thanks. Let me know how this thread goes.
Now you got me thinking. The only time Pletcher won the Derby was with Borel. The only time Johnny V won was when he rode for another trainer. My 4/20 line says Materialty (Pletcher/GP horse) + JV = another loser for JV.
I'm curious as to how many Pletcher horses have finished up the track in the Derby with JV in the saddle. I really don't remember. How many Pletcher place and show horses with JV and how many came from Florida (even though I know this has nothing to do with drugs since you have declared this subject a "dead horse"). It would be interesting to see if JV has a pattern of picking those GP horses or other Pletchers, since you think his opinion is important. If he picks Carpe Diem based on past history maybe you're onto something? How about evaluating how his Pletcher choices have done to date? Of course he may not always have a choice but I think it's an interesting question.
When JV calls me I will tell him I think he should ride Carpe Diem. Standing by for insights.
