Surprising when you consider how squeaky clean his repute is.
I heard a stat, I want to say from Brad Free, that horses claimed away from Mullins have won at a 14% clip next out. Over that span (I assume he used a big sample size over a long period of time) Mullins had won at a 25% clip with claimers.
Basically, a marked dip in production from 25-to-14% when claimed away from him.
