I recall in the late '80s and early 90's the exact opposite of that - where the picture of the horse or trainer on the front of the DRF for Saturday's big races was the kiss of death - a jinx. It seemed to pan out quite often.
This I believe was when the dreaded Sports Illustrated Cover jinx was happening as well.
I still hold a grudge against the editors and writers of DRF when they came out with an April Fool's edition around that same time that contained a lot of spoof stories, including the announcement of a grand indoor racetrack out in Las Vegas. I was bummed that wasn't true...
