My liking ML is not due to Pletch but due to that quarter-point move forward in his last, which sometimes leads directly to large forward moves. Most notably a Shug filly a few years ago who had a similar move forward in the Spinster and then blew the doors off Ashado and others by 10 lengths at 30-1 in the BC Distaff. I\'m still kicking myself for missing that one. And now if Pletch horses are running great, for whatever reason, that gives me more confidence. But, of course this being horse racing, there are no guarantees or sure things.
