Trainer Cycles

[Downthestretch55]

I'll preface this by saying "bet the horse, not the jockey, not the trainer."

OK, that said, and I'm not talking long term, but I've noticed that some trainer's barns get hot.
Some might know that I have tons of repect for Jim Jerkens. When he puts one out, I pay attention.
So, for example, there were times when he was doing not so well.
Lately, (since Corinthian in the Met Mile) I've watched his runners.
On Friday in the 8th at Belmont, Partita was the winner.
On Saturday, he put two in, Memphis Mon in the 3rd and Jack's Express (the one I tipped to ya Mera) in the 9th. Both winners.

To me, and I'm sure there will be many that disagree, it seems that a trainer has lots of success after a cold spell. That's my opinion, not reflected in overall win percentages, as it's short term.
Some trainers that seem to be "heating up" are Contessa, Frankel, and Dutrow.
Again, nothing in "stone" on this, just my opinion. And remember, "bet the horse, not the jockey, not the trainer." And watch for a barn that's heating up.
