I don’t know about anyone else, but it never ceases to amaze me when I see that some will immediately resort to posting
overall statistical averages when reviewing results of any kind in order to make a point.
I don’t believe that being successful in this game means playing every race where a particular trainer enters a horse, or any race that a jockey may be riding in, and obviously not every race that a specific horse may be entered.
If I’m not mistaken a better approach would be to be very discerning when not only making choices, but especially when considering the return value of any selection.
