He's that bad. He some how manages to get logical mounts and screws them up as equally he does the longshots...It's really something to witness.

Faine is pretty bad.

Faine last 12 months:

Tot Starts 404
Ave odds per starter 39-1
Wins 8
Ave Odds per winner 12-1

Routes
Starts 93
Wins 0

132 of his rides were for one trainer, Peter Wasiluk who has won about 9-10%of his 287 total starts with average Odds/Winner of 8-1. Many of the Wasiluk/Faine starters are owned or co-owned by the trainer.

Wasiluk with "Faine off" at both Tampa and Delaware has been a good thing for a few years now. Especially at Tampa. The numbers are even better for non-Wasiluk owned horses. Even better yet for those going long.

I also believe Faine has a hard time tacking less than 122, so that doesn't help.

8 for 404 is pretty significant. He's pretty bad, but keep an eye on the trainer's runners with a different rider.
