And if you're new to the Florida circuit and you're looking for a trainer -- wouldn't a 20% guy attract your attention.
So isn't it possible that Wolfson attracted new owners who perhaps had more money and better stock.
And -- in regard to the ROI -- with better stock, couldn't Wolfson be more competitive in some races that he wouldn't have had the stock to compete with before. And, particularly in the winter, isn't it possible that many bettors across the country would still ignore him when he's up against higher profile trainers and horses. So an It's a Bird wins at 11-1 -- which certainly skews the 2009 ROI...
