"Doesn't" what?

But isn't it also possible that what changed in that 2005-2006 period was the impending introduction of slots to Florida -- which brought an influx of trainers and owners to the state to "cash-in"?

And if you're new to the Florida circuit and you're looking for a trainer -- wouldn't a 20% guy attract your attention.

So isn't it possible that Wolfson attracted new owners who perhaps had more money and better stock.

And -- in regard to the ROI -- with better stock, couldn't Wolfson be more competitive in some races that he wouldn't have had the stock to compete with before. And, particularly in the winter, isn't it possible that many bettors across the country would still ignore him when he's up against higher profile trainers and horses. So an It's a Bird wins at 11-1 -- which certainly skews the 2009 ROI...
