Funny how the rest angle doesn't seem to help Pletcher at all. In fact, seven of his eight top-4 finishes came of three weeks rest.
With three weeks off, he's 21-1-2-2-2.
With 4+ weeks, he's 17-0-0-1-0.
He babies his horses into the Derby too much, imo. The three-week crew is tougher, tighter and clearly perform better -- no matter what their odds.Three of those 7 were 30-1 or higher. It'd probably be 4 of 7 if Impeachment hadn't been coupled in 2001.
