Frfom another perspective.
Super trainers are gutting the betting aspect of the game.
Points to ponder.
-Super trainers carry much clout.
-They can wield influence over Racing Secretaries. Races are written so that fields are smaller.
-Smaller fields mean more opportunities to cash checks.
-The ST's that are flush with wealthy owners that can afford high class stock run the show.
For example, Last Saturday there was a Stake Race at Belmont that drew 7, scratched down to 5( The two scratches were MTO) Chad Brown had three of the five remaining starters.
I have a problem with that.
Of course some of my points are pure speculation on my part. I'm using some deductive reasoning to arrive at my speculation.
Now, is there a solution?
Hmm. Don't know.
On the issue regarding PED's, that's been sufficiently discussed in this thread, so I digress.
