I never paid a lot of attention to trainers other than what is listed in the later versions of the racing form. I only bet races loaded with first timers if they are stuck in a pick six where there is a carryover and the other races look playable. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems the tote board means a lot with first timers, rarely does a horse run well if it is dead on the board compared to the money he should have pulled. Another phenomenon that baffles me is when a horse has a 6F gate work at a speed good enough to win the typical maiden race but is dead on the board, never picks up it's feet and is beaten by double digit lengths.
