I've been told the same thing, and I believe it. I currently have a horse -- at best he's a 16 claimer -- with a trainer who has 200 horses. I bumped into him while the horse was in his barn and he told when when he worked, what equiptment he wore (changes that were made), the problems he had when he got there, what he did to address them, when the horse was going to race, where, the race and more!

I also bumped into him when the horse was turned out on a farm. He also gave me a detailed status report up through about 5 days earlier.
