Pletcher holds all the aces for
Kentucky Derby
It's hard to know precisely what 'they' were implying. Was the multiple champion trainer thought somehow incapable? Perhaps he was he trying not to win the nation's favourite race? Or was he simply cursed by a witch with an aversion to roses?
Like all dead ends (trends), this incidental factoid became a historical footnote when the law of averages cut the handler a break in 2010 with Super Saver, his 25th runner in the opening Classic.
Now Pletcher has proved can win the Derby, he can start running the stats the other way - before long the trend might have flipped from 'Pletcher can't win the Derby' to 'Pletcher can't stop winning the Derby'.
