2009 trainer of the year

[lamboguy]

i know the year is young, we aren't even halfway done with it. DOUG SHANEYFELT is batting over 500 this year with over 100 starts. the man improves horses first off the claim. he wins off a win, and demolishes the fields in mountaineer.

another nominee would have to be RALPH COMI. he does he fine work in charlestown these days. he also has a high batting average.

the next in line would have to be STEPHANINE BEATTIE. she does her fine work all over the mid-atlantic circuit. she is batting over 400, and has yet to be recognised in the last few years. she also has won a graded stake race @ pimlico on preakness day.

congradulations to all these fine trainers for doing the best they can do!

What kind of a war are you trying to start? :lol:

Doug Shanyfelt actually won the 2008 Golden Syringe Award for North American trainer with the highest win percentage from a minimum of 100 starts on the year.

In the 2009 race for the Golden Syringe, Dougie currently leads Keith Bennett 42.7% to 41.4%.

There really should be an eclipse award for this. It's about time the lower profile juicers get a little respect.

If ever there was a trainer who deserved the nickname "America's Trainer" it would by Shanyfelt.

In 2004 and 2005 - he was a combined 54-for-533 - with a 10% win percentage and a horrible $1.17 ROI.

A really bad training career that started in '98 seemed destined to be mercifully euthanized ... but DS hung around and found the good stuff. It's a very uplifting story.

In fact, not only should the Golden Syringe winner recieve an eclipse award ... but a hop trainer Hall of Fame should be built in Steph Beattie's hometown.

Shanyfelt would also be a prohibitive favorite to win an award for trainer with the best 70's porno mustache... assuming the judges are all color blind.

Fine Trainers ??????? Give me a break... If you think there win percents are from good training and drugs have nothing to do with it ,,,, then you are fooling yourself my friendall the trainers i have listed raise up horses. would you rather have them or go to PLETCHER or ZITO. both those guys charge about $125 a day for a day rate, they don't train their horses, the vets do at about another $40 a day and they have horses that someone paid $300k for and get beat for bottom $5k in deleware.

not only that, a guy like shanyfelt got top owners now like cardianal stables which i believe is RICK PETINO coach of the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS. SHANYFELT just had an impressive win on the turf with one of his horses the other night at MOUNTAINEER.

why do you guys mix up a great job with drugs? and not only that, we have a man that has turned his career around in a very short time.

He is being sarcastic. He is too wise to the game be anything other than that. :cool:
