Very interesting. All you've got to work with is genetics, training, conditioning, and nutrition/health. The huge differences the skill of different trainers can make in a horse through the last three are readily apparent when you look at horses like SWLY and KNS. I think it's a matter of the skill of the trainer being able to optimize the genetic potential that's there.

And explains more "25 point moveups" than drugs in racing do.
