Default Supertrainer performing miracles with horses stabled at a Christian Youth Center

Trainer Jim Ensom has a small stable. He keeps them stabled at a Christian Youth Center.

He also has a good win percentage:

2012: 7-6-1-0 (86% wins)

2011: 16-7-2-3 (44% wins)

He's 13-for-23 (57% wins) over the last two years.

Tonight Jim Ensom sends out Sweet Starlet in a 100K stake at Presque Isle Downs.



Ensom claimed this filly for 20K out of a N2L claiming race for fillies exactly one year ago to the week. She ran a 57 Beyer and was soundly defeated.

Under his care, while stabled at a Christian Youth Center, she's made about $175,000 in earnings in a calendar years time.

He's only 35 years old -- so maybe we will be hearing about him more once someone actually gives him some horses to train.

Wow, 6 for 7 this year! He really knows how to spot them. He obviously has a higher power on his side.

Maybe they have psychedelic frogs running around at that Christian Youth Center.

I think we should withhold opinion until the board vet chimes in.
