They should give an award to the horse who overcomes the most negative barn switch.
I can't believe all the nonsense I heard about how The Lumber Guy was like a lateral move going from the Husion barn to the Drydale barn -- the former barn is an ROI kingpin, and the latter barn wins at 6% with sprinters.
I'd love to see a heartwarming story of like some 3% trainer whose horses deteriorate -- take one off of Scooter Davis -- and somehow hold its form for an entire season.
