i'd rather have a trainer who maps out the right route for his horse, rather than saying hey, it worked for so and so, i'll try it too.

I agree with u. But I've also seen how these guys do. They will see that it won the race and ran second and third and more will try it just for that reason. If Barbaro hadn't won the Derby last year, maybe some of the horses that used layoffs would have run one more time.
