That is an interesting theory, I'd like to see some more depth on it though since some of the trainers with the much higher win percentages had the benefit of a barn full of claiming horses, so they could really spot their horses in positions to be dominant while eyeing a number of different circuits. Guys like Shug & Mott are dealing with a higher end stock & limited race selections, so I would expect a more balanced ratio in such a situation.
Maybe a further comparison would be the WPS stats of Servis, Navarro etc in MSW, ALW & Stake races, I wonder if those would come back to the norm a little bit or if they'd continue to show a preponderance of winning results.
