Just the opposite ...
... it's the trainers today who are looking for the 100 point game ... the one big G1 score that will gin up the syndication negotiations.
And did it ever occur to you that everything Phalaris and I have been saying may be correct ... that American trainers have lost their way ... that the old skills have been lost ... that fear and greed have brought about a decline ... that we're now in the equivalent of a Dark Ages ... and we will some day experience a Renaissance ... which will see a return of the professional race horse?
That is a possibility ... isn't it?
