It takes a few years to build up the barn. His stats indicate exactly that.

You need to take a look at the PPs of some of his winners.

I'd love to look at that but I don't have access to that.

Does anyone understand the way this guy operates when he claims horses? For example, the winner of the 10th @Mth on 7/26 was J.B's UNC $11.20. In the form it looks like Navarro claimed it. But if you look at the chart on the day the horse was claimed on May 25th @CD it says "J.B's UNC was claimed by Gramm Marshal K.trainer, Newton Troy. Troy is a trainer based @Mnr. Horse never races until it shows up in Navarro's barn and wins.This is just one example of similar scenarios I've seen with him.

If these are private sales to Navarro, I would expect to see the statement, "Previously trained by..." But the form never makes mention of these middle men. Not only do the trainers change but the owners change as well. I see this a lot with Navarro. The only explanation I can come up with is this guy has a lot of people working for him which would include other trainers,and/or owners. Makes me wonder how big an outfit this guy has while he flies under the radar.

I wonder how often this happens. I ran across it once when I was researching a NY-GP based trainer for something else. I passed over it and let it go. With your post, I wondering if it would not be worth looking at in more depth. It is certain off the public radar.

Let's see if someone can connect the dots......

Marshall K. Graham runs High Point Thoroughbred Partners, so there is really no change in ownership of J B's UNC. He claimed the horse as an individual and then moved him into the partnership. Based on the Equibase owner database they have only run in 2013 with a record of 33-15-13 from 84 starters. 39% winners and 73% ITM. These guys are good.

Marshall K. Graham ran a string of horses at Parx which were trained by Juan Carlos Guerrero. Per Equibase, they were also partners on 22 starters in 2011 and 2012:

http://www.equibase.com/profiles/Res...=O&eID=1859720

A record of 7-3-6 from those 22 starters; 32% win and 73% ITM.

In addition to Navarro, HPTP uses Scott Lake and Michael Pino; which each have entrants at Parx today in the 2nd and 8th.

I'm wondering if there is any connection between JC Guerrero and Navarro?

Mr. Rise over Run, you sir have just connected the dots. Nice work. Fellow South Jersey guy, no surprise you're a sharp one.

By the way, it doesn't matter exactly what the horses are or are not getting. If you're betting on races where guys like Navarro are winning 50% off the claim, you need to have your eyes open.

All of the sudden, almost as if he read this thread, he is 1 for his last 10. With only 4 of 10 on the board.

Trainers have every right to be as streaky as bettors. Indeed, I have a hypothesis which I haven't even tried to test yet, that the best way to identify cheating trainers is they would not have the usual and expected cold streaks.
