i don't think he wanted to run certain horses in those big races , thus in my opinion i think it's unjust and unfair for people here to bash his record to the extent that they do because they don't know what the owners wanted to do
I agree that a couple of those Pletcher horses were only there becuase the owners wanted them there and you would think Todd probably thought that they were in over there heads. But that being said, they did need to have the earnings to get there so they did earn their way into the gates.
But the arguement you make isn't about Pletcher, it's about Dominguez.
