He was the first to promote it as a sucessful strategy. Around the same time Scott Lake was proclaiming his wild and unexpected sucess was due to trainers "overtraining" their horses. So the guy winning grade 1's every week and the leading claiming trainer were basically saying that their success was largely due to other trainers overracing and overtraining their horses. As I said, Monkey see, Monkey do. Their are a lot of monkeys in this business.

Lake would run his horses -- he just wouldn't train them much I guess... just leave them in the stall and inject away they'd say.

Lake was absolutely miserable with routers. His ROI numbers in routes were totally brutal from a massive sample size.

With speed sprinters -- he was a God.
