Are these Trainers bad for the game?

Ryan "Buck" Beattie is Todd's nephew. He was Todd's assistant at Penn
National until he went on his own a couple years ago. Todd has always been high percentage trainer and I do think he is honest because he has a lot of better quality horses. Most of Todd's horses are bought at sales or homebreds by their owners. Steph Beattie also runs horses also under her assistant name Donald Wells at CT and Penn. My friend has horses with Steph at Penn the horses show vast improvement when in her training routine. He said they do a lot of treadmill work and long gallops.

You should the miracle Steph did on a horse named Holiday Peak that
ran at Philly Park in the 2nd race on Feb 13, 2007 and this HORSE WAS
12/1 MORNING LINE. This was off the claim

I forgot to tell you check out the double payoff. They didn't bet the double with a
3-1 winner in the first

Here is a side-by-side comparison with Steph Beattie and Todd Pletcher, comparing their win% and ROI in the three diffrent odds ranges.

4/1 OR LESS:

Beattie: 35% wins. $2.08 ROI
Pletcher: 32% wins. $1.73 ROI

BETWEEN 9/2 up to 10/1

Beattie: 17% wins. $2.37 ROI
Pletcher: 13% wins. $1.81 ROI

GREATER THAN 10/1

Beattie: 10% wins. $3.88 ROI
Pletcher: 5% wins. $1.58 ROI

Beattie wins all the win percentage categories between 3-to-5%. She also sweeps the ROI categories by 35 points, 56 points, and 230 points.

You'd see similar mis-matches with all the other big name move-up guys.

I just think it's pretty damn perverted, when you have to make the trainer the #1 factor in your handicapping--as you'd certainly have to do in certain low-profile ares of the country. That's not what handicapping horses should ever be about.

Apparently they handed out the Eclipse to the wrong trainer.

No amount of treadmill work, or long gallops, produces these kinds of percentages. I can't believe it to be possible.

I sort agree with you. I think she does best by claiming horses
off very bad trainers and putting them on their program. They
also train at a farm not far from Penn. The horse Holiday Peak
was claimed off a very low percentage trainer. You usually don't
see vast improvement when she takes a horse from a high percentage
trainer

I've heard nothing but good things about Todd Beattie; I don't know a thing about the Stephanie girl.

Totally agree with you. I don't think people realize
how good of a horsemen he is. I seen his horses live
at the Pa. tracks and Delaware and they are a picture
health.
