I disagree.
If her horses are well cared for, what does it matter?
Like SRU said, the horses don't know if they have won, or not.
Owners? She very likely owns her own stock, and has had to
withstand the drought herself financially. If not, she has some
very loyal, perhaps naive, patrons who have been on a long ride.
Either way, any owners she might still have could have sent their
horses elsewhere a long time ago.
Bettors? The stats are there for all to see in the PPs.
Ignoring anything a 1% trainer puts out is easy to do.
Field size is increased - everyone is happy.
Except for yourself, apparently.
30% trainers who have their horses juiced to the gills
are killing this sport. Most win those 3 out of 10 races
with horses that go off at 6-5, or less. No good for me,
or for many bettors.
There is still plenty of room for 1% trainers in this game, imo.
They always have a shot of improving things and, if they don't,
necessity will force them into something else.
