Well I guess he doesn't care. I mean cmon.. this brings the haters out in groves. People are calling the NYRA, the NTRA and everyone that they can think of .. She just ran on the 4th. Why was she entered today?!?! The race today was on the turf and she was probably a MTO entry, but if it was taken off the turf, I can't believe he would try to run her back this quickly.

But glorifying pieces such as Drape's can only be read as "fantastic" by those who are either ignorant of the dark underbelly of the well-manicured Pletcher operation, or those who prefer sanitized history to the truth, as the latter might sully their beautiful minds (to loosely paraphrase Barbara Bush).Tinkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-52208678417590465702011-08-24T18:59:39.216-04:002011-08-24T18:59:39.216-04:00Fun Day, officially ahead for the meet, thanks for...Fun Day, officially ahead for the meet, thanks for Dracup.Figlessnoreply@blogger.com
