Default Discreetly Mine retired

Beyond disappointing for me. This was a colt I had high hopes for from the start. He didn't really want to stretch out, but after the Derby, Pletcher found his niche as a terrific sprinter. I really thought he was going to be a top sprinter this year.

First Crawford to the Red Sox, now this. Thank God we're kicking off Tampa with 10K claimers, otherwise my week would have gone completely to the shiz

In other related Pletcher (former) news Pluck is going to race in Europe next year. That should last for about 15 minutes. If Barry Irwin thinks Pluck can be competitive in Europe then Bobby Flay and the Phillips should plan on sending More Than Real and Winter Memories to the Arc.

Leave Flay alone.. He is one friggin lucky guy. He works very hard on racing and I root for him to have some mazel. I wonder why he hasnt named a horse Ancho Chilli since it is basically the only thing taste when you eat at his joints.
