^Good point JMS I totally agree on Medina and do think this question is more nuanced than just numbers. I kicked myself after this race because Ax Man just felt like the classic “other Baffert” and I only used on backups which didn’t connect. That is more of a gut feel than anything tangible however.
I do believe, and apologies as my memory is somewhat faulty, that someone researched this a couple years back (my best guess is it was posted on twitter and I think it was maybe DougieSal or InsidethePylons but again thats a guess)...the results, again I want to stress I don’t totally remember, I believe somewhat disputed this theory, much to the surprise of the internet (and myself). I do believe there was one trainer who had a suspiciously high number of longer priced winners but I want to say it was Pletcher or Brown and not Baffert. Again, I want to stress this is all recollection, I don’t have any screenshots or direct knowledge.
