I'm 100% not trying to imply anything about Shug because his generally very clean record speaks for itself, but there was a period at his peak in the early 90s where his win% was 30% for the year and even higher at some meets. Sometimes it seemed like every horse he put on the track would improve just enough to win at the next level. I used to hate betting races where he had a horse entered because they would appropriately take extra money on that assumption. So it was hard to bet on or against him. He'd routinely beat me with horses that moved forward.
I guess the point I am making is that just because a guy is winning everything in sight doesn't necessarily mean he's one of guys that's cheating. If you have great stock, are a great trainer, are working hard, and spotting your horses well you can get on quite a roll and still be racing clean.
I'm not sure how we catch all the cheaters, but we have to CATCH them.
