Think about it.

It's a bad theory.

There are bad trainers, like any other profession. And there are trainers that are better than most. That being said, I have seen good horses overcome bad training and win anyway. I have seen good trainers with weak stock struggle to win.

Agreed, there are trainers that I like to bet, there are also trainers that I really like that I don't bet much.

Choosing trainers to train horses that you own is completely different ball game, all depends what you want to get out of it.

I have often wondered what are the characteristics of a Trainer that people want to see whether it is wins, earnings or just the treatment of the animals.

What are some of the most important things that make up a good Trainer?

Let me know what you think.

I was really hoping this would go as you expected.

Or, maybe it did.

Nice try though.
