Juan Aguayo has been a longtime foreman for Todd Pletcher. He does his best to avoid cameras and interviews but can always be found alongside Todd's best horses on their biggest day. He has meticulous attention to detail and ensures they are all perfectly turned out. He is also incredibly gentle and has a much needed calming influence on even the toughest colts. Juan is a tremendous asset to the barn and a true horseman.
