If you talk to any good trainer out there, they will tell you that this is the most absurd thing they have ever heard.
So there are two possibilities here. The first possibility is that Phalaris has no idea what she is talking about.
The second possibility is that Phalaris is a genius and guys like Pletcher, Mandella, Frankel, Zito, etc. are all idiots.
Which is it? Is Phalaris a genius and the all the great trainers are morons? I think it's slightly more probable that Phalaris has no clue what she's talking about.

And you will also read those trainers say that times are changing....and who is changing the times? The breeding industry. Trainers answer this change by pleasing their clients with less starts against weeker horses = better stallion resume.
