After reading Pletcher comments what a AHOLE (I'm Not Shocked but Disappointed), that whole camp is still in a state of shock and what happend last year to Big E is why Pletcher babied Uncle Mo this year. I came across Pletcher last year on the backside of CH during Oaks morning when I was with Donnie Richardson of CDI and this guy didn' even acknowledge us like we even existed. I don't talk about people but this was a big disrespect towards us. On the other hand John Sadler and Jerry H both welcomed us with open arms and brought us through there stalls and Jerry H let us take pictures with Blind Luck and this is at 7am on Oaks day and Sadler told us that Mona De Momma was ready to fire and I posted that for you all right here last year along with Steve Margolis two live colts. Karma is a bitch and Dutrow found out the hard way and now it looks as Pletcher has found out. Still cannot believe he won the derby last year with Super Saver.

I have meet Baffert several times and this guy is as cool as they come, great for the game and a better trainer than Todd ever will be. Baffert is just low key now, picks and choses his horses.
I ran into Baffert last year during Derby week at the Crown Plaza in Louisville, he was with his wife and son and he could not have been any nicer. He took the time to humor me and come into the bar to meet a couple of friends who were with me. Talked at will about Lookin at Lucky and life's ups and downs.
Pletcher, at one time, was the same. But in recent years has become somewhat reclusive and comes across as a arrogant SOB. He could use some PR help!
I'm sitting on Lake Hamilton getting blown away by the wind, but it should be a fast track today at Oaklawn. Some rain possible.
After yesterday, I'm starting to wonder if Joyful Victory and Arienza should worry about the other two horses? Can't wait!
I Grew Up In Jack Van Berg's Backyard In Nebraska...jack Done Some Funny Things In His Time Too...i Know John And King Being Around Oaklawn Know.....
I Knew Lucas As A High School Coach...quarter Horse Trainer In South Dakota...then Onto A Thoroughbred Trainer...a Very Down To Earth Gentlemen...
Only One I Would Say To Be Out Of Line Is Richard Dutrow....pletcher Is Getting There...but He Thinks He's 'untouchable'...
John And King Probably Remeber John Franks Or Cw 'cracker 'walker'....if Our Industry Carried On Their ..humor..accessibility..and Mannerism...then All Horse Racing Would Be Better From Racing To Sportsmanship....
