Well, now we know that there is certainly something going on, LOL. I saw this and thought it would add fuel to the fire.

This has nothing to do with "just reading a condition book" or "just placing horses aggressively" or "just dropping" or "just stepping up horses" -- it has to do with everything. If you are myopic about this, you won't get it.

I have a trainer who often starts off a meet -- within the first 20 starts or so -- at scary #'s, often shooting 50%. Then the #'s level off. It doesn't happen as often as the barn has gotten bigger, as he gears up less for certain meets, etc., but it happens.

In this case, they will most probably end up the meet where they tend to.

73% winners in 3 weeks. It'll level off thus making it OK. Love that logic.

I am sure there were, and will continue to be. So, here's a simple question -- what should be done? Yes, we all know the discussion, but you are not going to throw someone out of the business and deprive them of their livelihood because "you just know" or because "it is not possible" and so on. Throw someone out for proof, evidence and facts.

In the old days the stewards would 'lean' on them a little.
