...but obviously we're not going to hear about any other 20+ trainers who have developing horses, plans, etc.

racing has become like watching keeping up with the kardashians or something, can't see anytning unless they are in the mix all the time .......all 1 or 2 trainers, all the time.

I pullled the plug on my TV 9 years ago. May have to do that with the TC soon.

You are so right....it's getting old. I may sound a bit ignorant here and I could be totally off base. However, these so-called "super trainers" get to train the best of the best. Some would argue that they are the best of the best because of the trainers, I get it. But I'm sure some would argue that elements such as prior success, personality/character (Good talkers), clout, mutual relations, etc has allowed these "super trainers to make the right connections with the multi-millionaires who can afford to purchase these highly priced animals with bloodlines that project future success already.

Not to mention, these guys have the wealth and resources to hire and obtain more individuals/resources to to work under them whereas someone like Uriah St Lewis has to have his wife and son play groom, asst. trainer, walker, etc...

I'm not that schooled on the trainer game that much so any input on my comments are welcomed as a bit of education for me. This is just my perception.
