I didnt say that about Pletcher because this is a thread about Lukas. My posts probably came across like i was taking a "shot" at Lukas, but the fact remains that anyone (including Pletcher) who has owners that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on horseflesh and have no problem writing million dollar checks will be "better trainers" than people who don't have these fancy yearlings.
My points were that with Lukas was that his ability to procure rich owners who had no problem spending unlimited supplies of money on yearlings was his "Strength" as a trainer moreso than his actual horsemanship skills. Now, if you believe that the reason he got all these great owners was because of his great horsemanship skills, than that is your right to believe that, i won't try and convince you otherwise.
