The most important thing to me is whether or not the trainer is able to improve upon a horse's performance after newly acquiring the animal...or if the trainer can keep a horse's form intact while placing the horse in different race situations than the horse has previously been exposed to. And I judge such "improvement" and 'form' not by things like trainer win% or trainer-tactic ROI...but by using speed/pace figures as a performance determinant. A horse's performance can improve substantially even if a horse LOSES the race...while a winning performance can sometimes be deemed to be a DECLINING effort. I want to know if a trainer can improve the horse FIGURE-WISE...and then it's up to ME to decide if such a figure-improvement will lead the horse to the winners circle.
