Ok all you PLETCHER bandwagon butt-heads, here are some stats
He has had 66 starters: 16 wins. 11 seconds. 9 thirds 24.2%. 54.55 ITM
Chad Brown. 39 starts: 13 wins. 9 seconds 5 thirds. 33.33% 69.23% ITM
Brown has 27 less starts!!
It's hard for Chad to beat TOAD at the Spa, especially on Thursday, TOAD has 2 entered in a 6 horse race. TOAD is one of the MOST over rated trainers ever. A real used car salesman!

When you have a horse good enough to be part of the TAP stable, you can rest assured that you're horse is not sitting around a stall all day. Walking shedrow, gate training, wash and rub down , and more work during the day. TAP daily rate is the highest, but you get what you pay for. If you're horse does not turn out to be a graded stakes type, TAP will advise you to take it elsewhere. I know---I've been there!
The stats that you base this opinion on are correct, but Chad Brown has had the benefit of riding the coat tails of Bobby Frankel, and Chad Brown is a true asshole! TAP may come across that way when on camera, but that is a true misconception of what he is like in person. TAP is a true horseman who knows what it takes to be successful in a very tough game, and he is as dillegent at his craft as any trainer who ever worked the sport.
I just wished I had a couple every year good enough to go to his stable!
I always thought TAP had a bit of an ego which showed last year with the way he handled Uncle Mo and Stay Thirsty.
HRT members believe this man! John has first hand knowledge of these trainers having dealt with them as a horse owner. Its easily to dislike TAP for a few reasons, but there is a reason top horses continually are in his barns, and I can assure you its not because he's a bad trainer or arrogant.
I currently have one horse with Chad. He's been nothing but great with me. I guess it's like ice cream we all have our special flavor. TAP to me is just the " name" to be associated with on the east coast.
I wish you nothing but luck. But John Gaspsr from Vinery in Lexington introduced me to Chad and he has done everything right.
We don't believe you. You're a 14YO kid in the Ukraine with dial-up internet.
