yeah but Zito has won the Derby a couple of times......I've said this before on other threads here, Pletcher does what he does very well....and that is organize....He has developed a tremendous stable with that ability but I don't think he is necessarily the best horseman. The thing about the Derby is it is the 20 most proven 3 year olds in the country if not the world and everyone that has a runner in there is a quality horseperson. Now I'm not saying he's not a good trainer, but the #'s don't make him "the" trainer. jmo
