As a bettor, I've long passed the point of trying to figure out why certain trainers seem to do great with new acquisitions. It really has no effect on me. I just like to know which ones have it happen the most and use their horses when appropriate. I leave the why to regulators. I know I've watched more horse races than most people alive and I know what it normal and what is out of the ordinary.
As a speed figure guy I see plenty of things that make me wonder, but again, it really doesn't matter to me. It helps knowing who the move up guys are so you aren't surprised when making numbers and skeptical because a horse seems to run off the page. With some trainers, it is best to expect the unexpected. It helps keep you from making bad numbers.
