Meet the new Lawyer Ron,
 

same as the old Lawyer Ron.

LOL. I knew exactly what the thread would say before I opened it.

The new trainer clearly hasn't had time to deal with Ronny's bouts of speed-craziness. It was a mistake to run him in this race, but I'm sure it's the new owners who called that one - even a placing would have looked good in the stallion ads. Now maybe Ronny will get the time to work on his demons before he goes back to the track.

I am one of Ron's fans, but when they named PVal to ride, I knew TAP wasn't getting him to rate as well as he was saying.

Now don't any of you start bad mouthing Pletcher. Oracle will be here smacking you around.:p

I am going to hold off on judgment (ha ha no pun intended) on Lawyer Ron until next season. (If he is racing next season) I want to see what they do with him before I call him overhyped, etc...

Maybe they should back him up and run him 7/8 ths or something , he might then be forced to rate because he wouldnt have as much speed as a sprinter type horse.
