Then he's truly an azzhole....can't even run horses into the ground the right way

The vast majority of those same horses would be run in the ground anyway with or without a Mike Gill owning them.

People say about the true alchemists "but horses don't break down for them at an appallingly high rate" .... but what happens when your ordinary trainer claims from them - or gets one transferred to them?

Yep, said horse goes on to fall off of the face of the planet at an appallingly high and fast rate.

I love that reasoning ... 'so and so does get huge form reversals, does wins races at eye-popping percentages, does generate a long term flat bet profit on the betting dollar even though everyone overbets the form of their horses .. this is all true ... but they don't breakdown for them .. they just often breakdown not long after they leave'
